Add the whole numbers.

4
00:00:11.986 --> 00:00:15.353
Multiply numerators and multiply denominators.

5
00:00:15.803 --> 00:00:19.518
Dividing by a fraction means multiplying by its reciprocal.

6
00:00:19.968 --> 00:00:23.265
Multiply numerators and multiply denominators.

7
00:00:24.065 --> 00:00:29.905
Rewrite both fractions with the least common denominator. The LCD of 1 and 8 is 8.

8
00:00:30.355 --> 00:00:33.118
Subtract the numerators and keep the denominator.

9
00:00:33.568 --> 00:00:35.658
Final answer in lowest terms.

10
00:00:36.458 --> 00:00:39.442
So the answer is 107 over 8.
