Question

Solve for the Simplest form

Answer 1

The answer is
`(11)/(24)`
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

`(5)/(6)` -
`(3)/(8)`
First, make their dinomenators equal:

`(5×4)/(6×4)` -
`(3×3)/(8×3)`
=

`(20)/(24)` -
`(9)/(24)`
=

`(20-9)/(24)` =
`(11)/(24)`

Answer 2

How to solve:


`(5)/(6)` -
`(3)/(8)`

Write all numerators above the least common denominator which is 24 in this case.

`(20-9)/(24)`

Subtract the numbers

`(11)/(24)`

Alternate form: 0.458333

The final, simplified, fraction answer is:
`(11)/(24)`
