TO DETERMINE

The Reason

$\displaystyle \sf{ \frac{1}{8} > \frac{1}{9} \: \: then \: \: \frac{1}{8} - \frac{1}{9} }$

EVALUATION

Here it is given that

$\displaystyle \sf{ \frac{1}{8} > \frac{1}{9} \: }$

$\displaystyle \sf{ So \: the \: numerical \: value \: of \: \frac{1}{8} \: \: is \: greater \: than \: \frac{1}{9} \: }$

Again from rule of Subtraction we know that if we subtract a smaller number from a greater number , then the resulting number is positive
