Fractions must share a common denominator in order to be added or subtracted. The common denominator is the least common multiple of all the denominators.
What is \( \frac{9}{8} \) - \( \frac{5}{12} \)?
| 1 \( \frac{1}{5} \) | |
| 2 \( \frac{1}{24} \) | |
| \(\frac{17}{24}\) | |
| 2 \( \frac{7}{24} \) |
