Answer 1

Answer: 13/24 is the answer in its simplest form ( 0.54)

Solution

Step 1: Take L.C.M  6/9 - 1/8

the LCM would be 72 (9 * 8)

Step 2:  Use the LCM to solve the equation

= (6 * 8) - ( 1 * 9) / 72

= 48 - 9 / 72 > > > > 39 / 72 this can be further simplified if you divide the numerator and denominator by 3

> > >  13 / 24 Ans

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

First you had to cancel by the fraction.

$\frac{6}{9}= \frac{2}{3}$

$\frac{2}{3}- \frac{1}{8}$

$\frac{16}{24}- \frac{3}{24}$

Since the denominators are equal, then you had to combine by the fraction.

$\frac{16-3}{24}$

Finally, you had to subtract by the numbers.

$16-3=13$

$10+3=13$

$\frac{13}{24}$

Final answer: $\boxed{=13/24}$
