Ahh the smallest multiple of both 6 and 33 is 66

So to minus fractions, you need the base to be the same (we change it to 66)

66/6=11 (this is how much u need to multiply the first fraction by)

7/6 x 11/11 = 77/66

For the second fraction, you need to multiply by 66/33= 2

10/33 x 2/2 = 20/66

77/66 - 20/66 = 57/66 (simplify, divide both 57 and 66 by 3) = 19/22

There you go :) hope it helped
