1/ 6  -  1 /8  is 1 /24 .

Steps for subtracting fractions

Find the least common denominator or LCM of the two denominators:

LCM of 6 and 8 is 24

Next, find the equivalent fraction of both fractional numbers with denominator 24

For the 1st fraction, since 6 × 4 = 24,

1 /6  =  1 × 4 /6 × 4  =  4/24

Likewise, for the 2nd fraction, since 8 × 3 = 24,

1/ 8  =  1 × 3 /8 × 3  =  3 /24

Subtract the two like fractions:

4 /24  -  3 /24  =  4 - 3 /24  =  1 /24

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{1}{24}$ is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

first we have to take the LCM of the denominators which is = 24

then we have to divide the LCM with the denominators of both of the fractions, and then multiply it by the numerator of the fraction.

$\frac{1}{6} = \frac{4}{24}$

$\frac{1}{8} = \frac{3}{24}$

$\frac{4 - 3}{24} = \frac{1}{24}$

so that's the explanation
