To subtract fractions, find a common denominator. The common denominator of 6 and 8 is 24. Therefore, five sixths is equivalent to twenty-fours sixths, and five eighths is equivalent to twenty-four eighths. Subtracting twenty-four eighths from twenty-four sixths gives an answer of three twenty-fourths.
First we convert into like terms, using thirty-sixths. That gives 32 thirty-sixths minus 9 thirty-sixths which is 23 thirty-sixths, which cannot be simplified any further.
Nine and five-ninths minus six and five-sixths = 49/18 or 213/18
7/8 - 5/6 = 21/24 - 20/24 = 1/24

Nine and five-ninths minus six and five-sixths = 49/18 or 213/18
7/8 - 5/6 = 21/24 - 20/24 = 1/24

It is 2 3/8.
2/3 minus 1/6 is the same as 4/6 minus 1/6 = 3/6 or 1/2 simplified
(11+3/8) - (6+5/6) = 109/24 = 4.541666 ..... recurring 6
