Answer 1

"Lower the fraction?"

Answer 2

24/27 = 8/9

24/27 - 14/27 = 10/27

Answer 3

10/27 is lowest form

Answer 4

Find the common denominator between both of them.
Here, 9 x 3 = 27 giving us similar ones between both fractions.
So you must multiply x 3 on the top as well, resulting 8 x 3 = 24

Your first fraction ----> 24/27
Now substract:
24/27 - 14/27 = 10/27

=) It cannot be further simplified, thus resulting to be your answer.
