Answer 2

`1(8)/(9)`

Explanation:

`\sf 8-6(1)/(9)`

First, make 6 1/9 an improper fraction.

`\sf8-(55)/(9)`

And now to solve the fractions you have to make the denominators the same.

For that, multiply both the numerator and denominator of 8 by 9.

Let us solve it now.

`\sf8-(55)/(9)\\\\\sf(8*9)/(1*9) -(55)/(9)\\\\\sf(72)/(9) -(55)/(9)\\\\(72-55)/(9) \\\\(17)/(9)`

And now let us write the answer as a mixed number.

`1(8)/(9)`
