Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To subtract these fractions, you need a common denominator, which is the product of the two denominators (19 and 17), giving 323. Convert each fraction: $\frac{9}{19} = \frac{9*17}{323}$ and $\frac{5}{17} = \frac{5*19}{323}$. Subtracting these gives $\frac{153}{323} - \frac{95}{323} = \frac{58}{323}$.
