To solve this expression, we need to first simplify the mixed numbers: 2ц4/5 = 10/5 + 4/5 = 14/5 2ц3/8 = 16/8 + 3/8 = 19/8 Now we can substitute these values into the expression: (14/5 - 19/8) * 16 To simplify the expression further, we need to find a common denominator for 5 and 8, which is 40: (14/5 * 8/8 - 19/8 * 5/5) * 16 (112/40 - 95/40) * 16 17/40 * 16 Finally, we can multiply the fraction by the whole number: 17/40 * 16 = 6.8 Therefore, (2ц4/5-2ц3/8)*16 = 6.8.
