2 7/24

Step-by-step explanation:

let’s go ahead and make these fractions have the same denominator.

1/8 and 5/6

what multiple do they share?

8 * 3 = 24

6 * 4 = 24

we will change their denominators to 24.

Now to change the numerator you have to multiply it by what you multiplied the denominator by:

1/8 * 3/3 = 3/24

5/6 * 4/4 = 20/24

now we will add the whole numbers to the fraction:

5/1 * 24/24 = 120/24

2/1 * 24/24 = 48/24

now add these to the correct fraction:

120/24 + 3/24 = 123/24

48/24 + 20/24 = 68/24

Now subtract!

123/24 -68/24 = 55/24

Simplify:

55/24 = 2 7/24

the answer is 28
