Answer is 3/72

multiply the denominator and numerator of 3/8 by 9 (27/72)
multiply the denominator and numerator of 3/9 by 8 (24/72)

this is to get the same denominator of 72

then just subtract 
27/72 - 24/72 = 3/72

Answer:
The result is 1/24

Explanation:
First step is to get the common denominator:
The common denominator here will be 8*9 = 72
Therefore:
3/8 = 27/72
3/9 = 24/72

Second step is to do the subtraction:
27/72 - 24/72 = (27-24) / 72 = 3/72

The last step is to simplify the result:
3/72 = 1/24

Hope this helps :)
