1/3
6/9 - 1/3 = 2/3 - 1/3 = 1/3
1 whole and 7 over 12
5/9-1/3 is the same as 5/9-3/9. This would then subtract out to be 2/9. (2 over 9)
-11 Pattern: Subtract 1, subtract 2, subtract 3 and so on.

1/2 (one over two)
(6/12) - (1/3) = (6/12) - (4/12) = 2/12 = 1/6

1/2 2/3 is the same as 4/6 Subtract 1/6 gives you 3/6 And 3/6 is the same as 1/2
1. Subtract 25 2. Then subtract 6 3. Then subtract 12 4. Then subtract 2 5. Then subtract 10 6. Then subtract 15 7. Then subtract 7 8. Then add 3 X 1/2 9. Then add 8
