Step-by-Step Solutions:
#### Row 1:
1. $\frac{7}{9} - \frac{1}{9}$
- Subtract the numerators: $7 - 1 = 6$
- Keep the denominator: $9$
- Result: $\frac{6}{9}$
2. $\frac{4}{6} - \frac{1}{6}$
- Subtract the numerators: $4 - 1 = 3$
- Keep the denominator: $6$
- Result: $\frac{3}{6}$
3. $\frac{6}{8} - \frac{1}{8}$
- Subtract the numerators: $6 - 1 = 5$
- Keep the denominator: $8$
- Result: $\frac{5}{8}$
#### Row 2:
4. $\frac{6}{9} - \frac{1}{9}$
- Subtract the numerators: $6 - 1 = 5$
- Keep the denominator: $9$
- Result: $\frac{5}{9}$
5. $\frac{5}{7} - \frac{1}{7}$
- Subtract the numerators: $5 - 1 = 4$
- Keep the denominator: $7$
- Result: $\frac{4}{7}$
6. $\frac{3}{5} - \frac{1}{5}$
- Subtract the numerators: $3 - 1 = 2$
- Keep the denominator: $5$
- Result: $\frac{2}{5}$
#### Row 3:
