Answer:


((8)/(9) - (5)/(6) )/((1)/(6) ) =
(1)/(3)

Step-by-step explanation:

There is two ways of doing this problem. I will show both ways.

Solving Problem (First way):

First, let's find a common denominator between
(8)/(9) and -
(5)/(6).

They both can multiply to 36, so that is their (least) common denominator.

Multiply each fraction by the amount it would take to get to 36.


(8)/(9)
* (4)/(4) =
(32)/(36) and -
(5)/(6) *
(6)/(6) = -
(30)/(36)

Now, add these two together:


(32)/(36) -
(30)/(36) =
(2)/(36)

This reduces down to
(1)/(18).


(1)/(18) divided by
(1)/(6) is the same as

This is equal to
(6)/(18), which reduces down to
(1)/(3).

Solving Problem (Second way):


((8)/(9) - (5)/(6) )/((1)/(6) ) is the same as saying
((8)/(9) )/((1)/(6) ) and
(-(5)/(6) )/((1)/(6) ).

These are being divided by
(1)/(6), which is the same as multiplying b 6.

The values should now look like this:


(16)/(3) -
5.

(If you want the same denominator, convert 5 into parts of 3, so
(15)/(3))

When you add these together, you get
(1)/(3).

I hope this helps!!
