Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve it will be easier to turn 7 into a rational number with the same denominator as 5/7

To do this make ratios

[tex]\frac{7}{1}=\frac{x}{7}[/tex]

Now solve for x

x = 49

This means that the fraction will be 49/7

[tex]\frac{49}{7}-\frac{5}{7}=\frac{44}{7}[/tex]

This can also be written as [tex]6\frac{2}{7}[/tex]
