9 1/4 - 15 2/6
= -(15 4/12 - 9 3/12)
= -6 1/12
15 2/6 = 15 + 2 / 6 = 15 * 6 / 6 + 2 / 6 = 90 / 6 + 2 / 6 = 92 / 6

Multiply both sides by 4

4 * 92 / ( 4 * 6 ) = 368 / 24

15 2/6 = 368 / 24

9 1/4 = 9 + 1 / 4 = 9 * 4 / 4 + 1 / 4 = 36 / 4 + 1 / 4 = 37 / 4

Multiply both sides by 6

6 * 37 / ( 6 * 4 ) = 222 / 24

9 1/4 = 222 / 24

15 2/6 - 9 1/4 =

368 / 24 - 222 / 24 =

146 / 24 =

( 144 + 2 ) / 24 =

144 / 24 + 2 / 24 =

6 + 2 / ( 2 * 12 ) =

6 + 1/ 12 = 6 1/12
