Answer:

[tex]-\frac{7}{8}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Use this rule: [tex]a \times \frac{b}{c} =\frac{ab}{c} .[/tex]

[tex]\frac{6\times3}{8} -5\times\frac{5}{8}[/tex]

2) Simplify 6 × 3 to 18.

[tex]\frac{18}{8} -5\times\frac{5}8}[/tex]

3) Simplify [tex]\frac{18}{8}[/tex] to [tex]\frac{9}{4}[/tex].

[tex]\frac{9}{4} -5\times\frac{5}{8}[/tex]

4) Use this rule: [tex]a\times\frac{b}{c}=\frac{ab}{c} .[/tex]

[tex]\frac{9}{4} -\frac{5\times5}{8}[/tex]

5) Simplify 5 × 5 to 25.

[tex]\frac{9}{4} -\frac{25}{8}[/tex]

6) Simplify.
