Answer 1

Have you considered finding a common denominator and completing the subtraction?

Answer 2

Since the answers mainly have a denominator of 24 you might start with that

so you need to convert the 2 terms into terms with 24 on the bottom..

\[\frac{ 1 }{ 6 } = \frac{ ? }{ 24 }\]

\[\frac{ 5 }{ 8 } = \frac{ ? }{ 24 }\]
