Answer:

3 15/18

Explanation:

We start by looking at the problem, and by trying to change the denominator by finding out what number than can both go into 6 and 9.

6 x 3 = 18 9 x 2 = 18

We then change the denominator to 18.

Next, we change the whole number into a fraction. If we convert 2 whole numbers into 7 1/18, we get 5 37/18. If we convert 1 into 3 4/18, we get 2 22/18.

If we then subtract the whole numbers and fractions, the answer is

3 15/18. (It can not simplify).
