$$\frac{9}{4}-\frac{5}{6}$$

$\frac{17}{12}\approx 1.416666667$

Least common multiple of $4$ and $6$ is $12$. Convert $\frac{9}{4}$ and $\frac{5}{6}$ to fractions with denominator $12$.

$$\frac{27}{12}-\frac{10}{12}$$

Since $\frac{27}{12}$ and $\frac{10}{12}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{27-10}{12}$$

Subtract $10$ from $27$ to get $17$.

$$\frac{17}{12}$$

$\frac{17}{2 ^ {2} \cdot 3} = 1\frac{5}{12} = 1.4166666666666667$
