You can put this solution on YOUR website! what is 8/9 minus 3/4
----------------------------
You need a common denominator:
least common denominator: 36

Rewrite each fraction with the lcd as its denominator:
= [(4*8)/36] - [(3*9)/36]
-------------------
Combine the numerators over the lcd:
= [32 + 27]/36
----------------------
= [59/36]
