$$\frac{5}{7}\frac{6}{5}-\frac{2}{5}$$

$\frac{16}{35}\approx 0.457142857$

Multiply $\frac{5}{7}$ times $\frac{6}{5}$ by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.

$$\frac{5\times 6}{7\times 5}-\frac{2}{5}$$

Cancel out $5$ in both numerator and denominator.

$$\frac{6}{7}-\frac{2}{5}$$

Least common multiple of $7$ and $5$ is $35$. Convert $\frac{6}{7}$ and $\frac{2}{5}$ to fractions with denominator $35$.

$$\frac{30}{35}-\frac{14}{35}$$

Since $\frac{30}{35}$ and $\frac{14}{35}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{30-14}{35}$$

Subtract $14$ from $30$ to get $16$.

$$\frac{16}{35}$$

$\frac{2 ^ {4}}{5 \cdot 7} = 0.45714285714285713$
