Answer 1

Answer:

2/17

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, $\frac{16}{17} - \frac{14}{17}$, to find the difference, first look for the common denominator of both fractions.

Common denominator of both fractions is 17.

Divide the common denominator by the denominator of each fraction, then multiply the result by its numerator and solve as follows:

$\frac{1(16) - 1(14)}{17}$

$\frac{16 - 14}{17}$

$\frac{2}{17}$

The answer is 2/17

$\frac{16}{17} - \frac{14}{17}$ = 2/17
