33/54

Explanation:

Step 1

So we multiply 5 by 9, and get 45.

Then we multiply 2 by 6, and get 12.

Next we give both terms new denominators -- 6 × 9 = 54.

So now our fractions look like this:

45/54 − 12/54

Step 2

Since our denominators match, we can subtract the numerators.

45 − 12 = 33

So the answer is:

33/54
