Q. Evaluate the expression shown below and write your answer as a fraction in simplest form.\newline7976 \frac{7}{9}-\frac{7}{6} \newlineAnswer:
  1. Identify Common Denominator: Identify a common denominator for the fractions (79)(\frac{7}{9}) and (76)(\frac{7}{6}). The common denominator for 99 and 66 is 1818, because 1818 is the least common multiple of 99 and 66.
  2. Convert to Equivalent Fractions: Convert each fraction to an equivalent fraction with the common denominator of 1818. For 79\frac{7}{9}, multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 22 to get 1418\frac{14}{18}. For 76\frac{7}{6}, multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 33 to get 2118\frac{21}{18}.
  3. Subtract Fractions: Subtract the two fractions with the common denominator.\newline(1418)(2118)=142118(\frac{14}{18}) - (\frac{21}{18}) = \frac{14 - 21}{18}
  4. Perform Subtraction: Perform the subtraction in the numerator.\newline1421=714 - 21 = -7\newlineSo, (1421)/18=(7)/18(14 - 21)/18 = (-7)/18
  5. Simplify Fraction: Simplify the fraction, if possible.\newlineThe fraction (7)/18(-7)/18 is already in its simplest form because 77 and 1818 have no common factors other than 11.
