Answer 1

1/24

Explanation:

You find the least common denominator of 8 and 6 (24)

then you multiply to make the dominators the same

7*3/8*3 >> 21/24

5*4/6*4 >> 20/24

then simplify 21-20/24

then you get your answer.

Answer 2

Answer: 1/24

Step-by-step explanation: To subtract unlike fractions, our first step is to get a common denominator for those fractions.

The common denominator of 8 and 6 will be the

least common multiple of 8 and 6 which is 24.

To get a 24 in the denominator of 7/8, we

multiply top and bottom by 3 to get 21/24.

To get a 24 in the denominator of 5/6, we

multiply top and bottom by 4 to get 20/24.

So we have 21/24 - 20/24 which is 1/24.
