Question

A green snake was 8/9 yard long. a garter.A hater

Answer 1

First, we're going to find the LCD, Least Common Denominator, of both fractions.
9- 9, 18, 27, 36.
18- 18, 36, 54, 72.

As you can see, 18 is the LCD of both fractions.

Then we're going to multiply both the fractions to get the denominator the same.
$\frac{8}{9}$ x 2 = $\frac{16}{18}$
$\frac{13}{18}$ x 1 = $\frac{13}{18}$

*Remember, whatever you do to the top, you do to the bottom.*
**Do not follow the rule above if you are not making the denominators the same.**

Now we're going to subtract $\frac{16}{18}$ by $\frac{13}{18}$
$\frac{16}{18}$ - $\frac{13}{18}$ = $\frac{3}{18}$

Then, we're going to simplify it.
$\frac{3}{18}$ / 3 = $\frac{1}{6}$

This is how we get our answer, $\frac{1}{6}$

Our final answer is $\frac{1}{6}$

Hope this helps!~
