As per the problem,

we have been asked to find the difference of the given fractions.

The given fractions are
(6)/(7) \ and \ (2)/(3)


(6)/(7)-(2)/(3)

Make denominator equal and simplify we get


\Rightarrow (6)/(7)-(2)/(3) =(6)/(7)*(3)/(3)-(2)/(3)*(7)/(7) \\\\\Rightarrow (6)/(7)-(2)/(3) =(18)/(21)-(14)/(21) \\\\\Rightarrow (6)/(7)-(2)/(3) =(18-14)/(21)\\\\\Rightarrow (6)/(7)-(2)/(3) =(4)/(21)

The difference of the given fractions=4/21
