Answer 26

Here is a link to subtract fractions http://www.mathsisfun.com/fractions_subtraction.html Math is fun is a website with soooo many math topics for you

Answer 27

To find the answer to this problem, you have to subtract the two fractions:

\(\dfrac{7}{8} - \dfrac{2}{3}\)

First, you have to find a common denominator, which is 24 here.

Now convert the fractions into denominators with 24:

\(\dfrac{7 \times 3}{8 \times 3} - \dfrac{2 \times 8}{3 \times 8} \rightarrow \dfrac{21}{24} - \dfrac{16}{24}\)

Now can you subtract 21 - 16?
