$$\frac{ 5 }{ 8 } - \frac{ 10 }{ 7 } =$$

$-\frac{45}{56}\approx -0.803571429$

Least common multiple of $8$ and $7$ is $56$. Convert $\frac{5}{8}$ and $\frac{10}{7}$ to fractions with denominator $56$.

$$\frac{35}{56}-\frac{80}{56}$$

Since $\frac{35}{56}$ and $\frac{80}{56}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{35-80}{56}$$

Subtract $80$ from $35$ to get $-45$.

$$-\frac{45}{56}$$

$-\frac{45}{56} = -0.8035714285714286$
