To subtract fractions, we need to have a common denominator. The least common multiple (LCM) of 8 and 6 is 24.
To convert the fractions to have a denominator of 24, we can multiply the numerator and the denominator of each fraction by the same number.
For the first fraction, we have: (7/8) * (3/3) = 21/24
For the second fraction, we have: (5/6) * (4/4) = 20/24
Now we can subtract the fractions:
21/24 - 20/24 = (21 - 20)/24 = 1/24
Therefore, 7/8 - 5/6 = 1/24.
