Subtract.

Eight-ninths minus one-third

8/9 - 1/3

To subtract these two fractions, first find a common denominator.

The common denominator will be the

least common multiple for the two denominators.

In this case, the least common multiple of 9 and 3 is 9.

So to subtract, a denominator of 9 is needed in each fraction.

8/9 already has 9 in the denominator so it stays the same.

To get a 9 in the denominator of 1/3, multiply top and bottom by 3.

This gives us 3/9.

So we have 8/9 - 3/9 which is 5/9.

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
