$$\frac{ 9 }{ 4 } - \frac{ 8 }{ 6 }$$

$\frac{11}{12}\approx 0.916666667$

Reduce the fraction $\frac{8}{6}$ to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out $2$.

$$\frac{9}{4}-\frac{4}{3}$$

Least common multiple of $4$ and $3$ is $12$. Convert $\frac{9}{4}$ and $\frac{4}{3}$ to fractions with denominator $12$.

$$\frac{27}{12}-\frac{16}{12}$$

Since $\frac{27}{12}$ and $\frac{16}{12}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{27-16}{12}$$

Subtract $16$ from $27$ to get $11$.

$$\frac{11}{12}$$

$\frac{11}{2 ^ {2} \cdot 3} = 0.9166666666666666$
