7/32
32 is the common denominator, 16x2=32
You can find the fraction 2/32 to subtract with the same denominator
9-2=7
So, 7/ the common denominator

Answer:
(7)/(32)

Explanation:

You want your numbers to have a common denominator which you can get by doubling both sides of the second number (
(1)/(16) = (2)/(32)).


(9)/(32) - (2)/(32) \\= (7)/(32)
