Answer: 1/12 apples left
Explanation:
Find the least common multiple (LCM)
8: 8, 16, 24, 32, and so on
6: 6, 12, 18, 24, and so on
Both denominators have a common multiple of 24, so let's use that as the LCM
Whatever you do the denominator, you must do to the numerator, and vice versa.
6*4=24, so you have to multiply 4 to the numerator
4*4=16, so the fraction is 16/24
Then do it for the next fraction
8*3=24, so do 6*3=18
18/24
Then subtract them
18/24 - 16/24= 2/24
Then simplify and you get 1/12
