An easy way to solve this problem is by finding the same denominators for both of the fractions. You can do this by multiplying 9 times 6 equals 54 and what you do to the bottom you must do to the top. So 5×6=30 and 1×9=9 13 30/54- 8 9/54 = 5 21/54 and then if you can simplify you do.

The **difference **of the given mixed **fractions **is 5 18 7 ​ .
The given fractions are 13 9 5 ​ and 8 6 1 ​ .
Subtracting fractions include the subtraction of two or more fractions with the same or different denominators. Like fractions can be subtracted directly but for unlike fractions we need to make the denominators same first and then subtract them.
Here, 13 9 5 ​ can be written as 9 122 ​ and 8 6 1 ​ can be written as 6 49 ​ .
Now, 9 122 ​ − 6 49 ​
= 18 244 ​ − 18 147 ​
= 18 244 − 147 ​
= 18 97 ​
= 5 18 7 ​
Therefore, the **difference **of the given mixed fractions is 5 18 7 ​ .
