You can put this solution on YOUR website!
7/9-11/18 So we need to have the same denominators on both fractions.
The common denominator is 18, so we have to multiply the first fraction by 2.
so 14/18-11/18=(14-11)/18=3/18 simplified we can divide the nominator and denominator by 3 so the answer is 1/6.
Let me know if you need more help.
