Question

If 1/8 >1/9 , then 1/8- 1/9 is positive. Give reason​

☮️ Because the subtraction is done with a greater number by a smaller number

let's take an example

2 - 1 = 1 ( here subtrahend is smaller while minuend is greater )

but

1 - 2 = -1 ( here subtrahend is greater while minuend is smaller)
