5/24
Step-by-step explanation:
First take both fractions and change then to their lowest common denominator : 7/24 and 2/24
then take these fractions and multiply the numerators by the number you multiplied your denomonator with (in this case all you have to really do is multiply the 7 by the 3 and the 2 by the 8) : 21/24 and 16/24
Last all you have to do is subtract both of them which equals 5/24 but whenever you get your final answer make sure to simplify it if you can but as of now you won't neet to.

Answer: 5/24
Explanation: To subtract unlike fractions such as 7/8 - 2/3, first find a common denominator. The common denominator of 8 and 3 will be the least common multiple of 8 and 3 which is 24.
To get a 24 in the denominator of 7/8, we multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 3 to get 21/24.
To get a 24 in the denominator of 2/3, we multiply both the numerator and the deliminator by 8 and to get 16/24.
Now we are subtracting like fractions since both fractions have the same denominator or bottom number of 16.
To subtract like fractions, we simply subtract the numerators and keep the same denominator. So here, we have 21/24 - 16/24 which is 5/24.
Since 5/24 is in lowest terms, it's our final answer.
This means that 7/8 - 2/3 is 5/24.
