Answer:

\frac{-27}{56}

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we will subtract.

[] Let's find common denominators.

8 -> 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, <u>56</u>, 64, 72, 80

7 -> 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, <u>56</u>

\frac{3}{8}=\frac{3*7}{8*7}  =\frac{21}{56}

\frac{6}{7} =\frac{6*8}{7*8} =\frac{48}{56}

(multiplying by these numbers does not affect them because, for example, \frac{8}{8}=1)

[] Subtract across the numerators, the denominator stays the same

\frac{21}{56} -\frac{48}{56} =\frac{-27}{56}

[] Simplify

-> To simplify, we can find common factors

For 27: <u>1</u>, 3, 9, and 27

For 56: <u>1</u>, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 28, and 56

-> \frac{-27}{56} does not have any common factors besides one, so it is fully simplified

Have a nice day!

     I hope this is what you are looking for, but if not - comment! I will edit and update my answer accordingly.
