$$\frac{ 2 }{ 3 } - \frac{ 3 }{ 8 } =$$

$\frac{7}{24}\approx 0.291666667$

Least common multiple of $3$ and $8$ is $24$. Convert $\frac{2}{3}$ and $\frac{3}{8}$ to fractions with denominator $24$.

$$\frac{16}{24}-\frac{9}{24}$$

Since $\frac{16}{24}$ and $\frac{9}{24}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{16-9}{24}$$

Subtract $9$ from $16$ to get $7$.

$$\frac{7}{24}$$

$\frac{7}{2 ^ {3} \cdot 3} = 0.2916666666666667$
