Solution Steps

Step 1: Find the Least Common Denominator (LCD)

The LCD of 8 and 8 is 8.

Step 2: Convert each fraction to an equivalent fraction with the LCD

Step 3: Subtract the numerators of the converted fractions

The result of the subtraction is \(\frac{6}{8}\).

Step 4: Simplify the resulting fraction if possible

The simplified fraction is \(\frac{3}{4}\).
