Let me recalculate it for you.

w - 5 2/5 = 3 1/4

To solve this equation, we need to convert both fractions to a common denominator, which in this case would be 20.

w - 5 8/20 = 3 5/20

w - 5 8/20 = 3 5/20

Now, we can combine the whole numbers and fractions:

w - 5 - 8/20 = 3 + 5/20

w - 5 - 2/5 = 3 + 1/4

w - 5 - 2/5 = 3 + 1/4

Now, let's simplify further:

w - 5 - 2/5 = 3 + 1/4

w - 5 - 4/20 = 3 + 5/20

w - 5 - 1/5 = 3 + 1/4

Now, combine the whole numbers and fractions:

w - 5 - 1/5 = 3 + 1/4
w - 5 - 1/5 = 3 + 5/20

w - 5 - 1/5 = 3 + 1/4
w - 5 - 1/5 = 4/4 + 5/20

w - 5 - 0.2 = 1 + 0.25
w - 5 - 0.2 = 1.25

w - 5 - 0.2 = 1.25
w - 5.2 = 1.25

Now, solve for w:

w = 1.25 + 5.2
w = 6.45

Therefore, the correct answer is w = 6 45/100, which can be simplified to w = 6 9/20.

Apologies for the mistake in my previous responses. Let's correct it and determine the correct solution.

Given equation: w - 5 2/5 = 3 1/4

To solve this, we first need to convert all fractions into a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 20.

Rewritten equation (with common denominator 20): w - 5 8/20 = 3 5/20

Now, simplify the equation by combining the whole numbers and fractions:

w - 5 - 8/20 = 3 + 5/20
w - 5 - 2/5 = 3 + 1/4

Next, simplify further:

w - 5 - 4/20 = 3 + 5/20
w - 5 - 1/5 = 3 + 1/4

Now, combine the whole numbers and fractions:

w - 5 - 1/5 = 3 + 1/4

Subtract to solve for w:

w - 5 - 0.2 = 3.25
w - 5.2 = 3.25

Now, solve for w:

w = 3.25 + 5.2
w = 8.45

Therefore, the correct solution to the equation w - 5 2/5 = 3 1/4 is w = 8 9/20. Thank you for your patience, and I appreciate the correction.
