    - 1/3 - 5/8

    -8/24 - 15/24

    -23/24

    The first step is to find the least common denominator. The LCD of 3 and 8 is 24. Now, mulitply - 1/3 by 8/8 and - 5/8 by 3/3. This will give you fractions with equal denominators which you need to find before subtracting. Finally, you simplify the equation. Since this cannot be simplified, - 23/24 is the answer
