You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \({4\frac{5}{8}}^{2} - {2\frac{3}{8}}^{2}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[{4\frac{5}{8}}^{2} - {2\frac{3}{8}}^{2} = \frac{63}{4} = 15.75\]


\[\begin{aligned}{4\frac{5}{8}}^{2} - {2\frac{3}{8}}^{2}& = \left(4\frac{5}{8}\right)^{2} - \left(2\frac{3}{8}\right)^{2}\\& = \frac{1369}{64} - \left(2\frac{3}{8}\right)^{2}\\& = \frac{1369}{64} - \frac{361}{64}\\& = \frac{63}{4}\end{aligned}\]
