Draven · Answer 1

6/8 and 2/3 have the common denominator of 24.

multiply 8 by 3

multiply 3 by 8

18/24 and 16/24 are your new fractions.

18/24 - 16/24 = 2/24

simplify this by dividing by 2

1/12 yds is what Isabele had left.

Evelyn · Answer 2

1/12 is the answer because I did 6/8 from 2/3 so it gave me 1/12
