Hi!

Your answer is 5/9.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can't subtract two fractions with different denominators. So you need to get a common denominator. To do this, you'll multiply the denominators times each other... but the numerators have to change, too. They get multiplied by the other term's denominator.

So we multiply 8 by 3, and get 24.

Then we multiply 1 by 9, and get 9.

Next we give both terms new denominators -- 9 × 3 = 27.

So now our fractions look like this:

24/27 - 9/27

Since our denominators match, we can subtract the numerators.

24 − 9 = 15

So the answer is:

15/27

(After you simplify it, it will be 5/9.)

Hope this helps!
