Convert each fraction so they both have a common denominator by finding the lowest common denominator.


The lowest common denominator of 6 and 8 is 24. 8 goes into 24 3 times and 6 goes into 24 4 times.


now convert the fractions: 7/8  = 21/24

and 5/6 = 20/24


Now subtract:

21/24 - 20/24 = 1/24


Pam walks 1/24 of a mile more.
