To find the difference of two fractions, you need to have the same denominator.
The common denominator of 6 and 8 is 24.

Converting 5/6 and 3/8 to have a denominator of 24:
(5/6) * (4/4) = 20/24
(3/8) * (3/3) = 9/24

Now subtracting the fractions:
20/24 - 9/24 = (20-9)/24 = 11/24

Therefore, the answer is 11/24.
