Answer 2

`\huge\text{Hey there!}`

`\huge\textbf{Guide to follow:}`

`\text{Difference means subtract/subtraction}`

`\text{Product means multiply/multiplication}`

`\text{Quotient means divide/division}`

`\text{Sum means add/addition}`

`\huge\textbf{We are looking for the difference in}\\\\\huge\textbf{the given the equation, so we are}\\\\\huge\textbf{SUBTRACTING}`

`\huge\textsf{The equation should look like this:}`

`\mathsf{(7)/(8) - (1)/(3)}`

`\huge\textbf{Now let us solve for the answer}`

`\mathsf{(7)/(8) - (1)/(3)}`

`\mathsf{= (7*3)/(8*3) - (1*8)/(3* 8)}`

`\mathsf{= (21)/(24) - (8)/(24)}`

`\mathsf{= (21 - 8)/(24 - 0)}`

`\mathsf{= (13)/(24)}`

`\huge\textbf{So, what is the answer to the question?}`

`\huge\text{The answer should be: \huge\boxed{\mathsf{Option\ A. \ (13)/(24)}}}\huge\checkmark`
