Answer:

1/6.

Step-by-step explanation:

7/18−2/9=?

The fractions have unlike denominators. First, find the Least Common Denominator and rewrite the fractions with the common denominator.

LCD(7/18, 2/9) = 18

Multiply both the numerator and denominator of each fraction by the number that makes its denominator equal the LCD. This is basically multiplying each fraction by 1.

(7/18×11)−(2/9×22)=?

Complete the multiplication and the equation becomes

7/18−4/18=?

The two fractions now have like denominators so you can subtract the numerators.

Then:

7−4/18=3/18

This fraction can be reduced by dividing both the numerator and denominator by the Greatest Common Factor of 3 and 18 using

GCF(3,18) = 3

3÷3/18÷3=1/6

Therefore:

7/18−2/9=1/6
