Question

what is the value of h?
$h + 9\frac{5}{8} = 17$
$h = \square$

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate h by subtracting $9\frac{5}{8}$

$h = 17 - 9\frac{5}{8}$

Step2: Convert 17 to mixed fraction

$17 = 16\frac{8}{8}$

Step3: Subtract the mixed numbers

$h = 16\frac{8}{8} - 9\frac{5}{8} = 7\frac{3}{8}$

Answer:

$7\frac{3}{8}$
