Answer:to find the difference between 6/8 and 1/7, you need to make the denominators (the bottom numbers) the same. turn 6/8 into 42/56. then turn 1/7 into 8/56. you'll then do 42/56-8/56. so it'll be 42-8=36. so it will come out to 36/56, which is (when simplified) is 9/14. your answer will be 9/14.
