Answer 2

To subtract 1/9 - 1/14, we need to find a common denominator. The smallest number that both 9 and 14 divide into is 126.

So, we will convert both fractions to have a denominator of 126:

1/9 = 14/126

1/14 = 9/126

Now we can subtract them:

1/9 - 1/14 = 14/126 - 9/126

Simplifying the right-hand side by subtracting the numerators, we get:

5/126

Therefore, 1/9 - 1/14 = 5/126 as an improper fraction.
