Answer:

1/2

Explanation:

first find the least. common multiple of the denominators(LCM)

this is 18

18

divide each denominator with the lcm

then multiply the answers you get by the numerators...

e.g2/3. 18÷3×2=12. 1/6. 18/6x1 which is 3

then 12-3 which is 9 over the lcm which is 18

the. simplified form of the answer is

1/2
