$$\frac{7}{5}-\frac{1}{4}$$

$\frac{23}{20}=1.15$

Least common multiple of $5$ and $4$ is $20$. Convert $\frac{7}{5}$ and $\frac{1}{4}$ to fractions with denominator $20$.

$$\frac{28}{20}-\frac{5}{20}$$

Since $\frac{28}{20}$ and $\frac{5}{20}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{28-5}{20}$$

Subtract $5$ from $28$ to get $23$.

$$\frac{23}{20}$$

$\frac{23}{2 ^ {2} \cdot 5} = 1\frac{3}{20} = 1.15$
