Answer 2

Answer: The fraction 1/3

===========================

Explanation:

Let's focus on adding 8/9 to -5/6

To do this, we need the denominators to be the same. The LCD is often the best choice, but you could pick any common denominator.

LCM of 9 and 6 is 18

8/9 = 16/18 after multiplying top and bottom by 2

-5/6 = -15/18 after multiplying top and bottom by 3

So,

8/9 + (-5/6) = 16/18 - 15/18 = 1/18

The two fractions up top combine to 1/18

----------------

The original expression turns into (1/18) over (1/6)

This is the same as

(1/18)*(6/1)

since we flip the second fraction and multiply. Let's simplify that

(1/18)*(6/1)

(1*6)/(18*1)

(6*1)/(6*3)

1/3
