Problem: Subtraction of Fractions
The task involves solving a series of fraction subtraction problems. Let's solve each problem step by step.

####
Row 1:
1.
Problem: $\frac{5}{6} - \frac{4}{6}$
-
Solution: Since the denominators are the same, subtract the numerators directly:
$$
\frac{5}{6} - \frac{4}{6} = \frac{5 - 4}{6} = \frac{1}{6}
$$
2.
Problem: $\frac{4}{5} - \frac{2}{5}$
-
Solution: Again, the denominators are the same, so subtract the numerators:
$$
\frac{4}{5} - \frac{2}{5} = \frac{4 - 2}{5} = \frac{2}{5}
$$

Row 2:
3.
Problem: $\frac{6}{7} - \frac{1}{7}$
-
Solution: The denominators are the same, so subtract the numerators:
$$
\frac{6}{7} - \frac{1}{7} = \frac{6 - 1}{7} = \frac{5}{7}
$$
4.
Problem: $\frac{5}{9} - \frac{2}{9}$
-
Solution: The denominators are the same, so subtract the numerators:
$$
\frac{5}{9} - \frac{2}{9} = \frac{5 - 2}{9} = \frac{3}{9}
$$
Simplify $\frac{3}{9}$ to its lowest terms:
$$
\frac{3}{9} = \frac{1}{3}
$$

Row 3:
5.
Problem: $\frac{6}{8} - \frac{2}{8} - \frac{1}{8}$
-
Solution: The denominators are the same, so subtract the numerators step by step:
$$
\frac{6}{8} - \frac{2}{8} - \frac{1}{8} = \frac{6 - 2 - 1}{8} = \frac{3}{8}
$$
6.
Problem: $\frac{6}{7} - \frac{4}{7} - \frac{1}{7}$
-
Solution: The denominators are the same, so subtract the numerators step by step:
$$
\frac{6}{7} - \frac{4}{7} - \frac{1}{7} = \frac{6 - 4 - 1}{7} = \frac{1}{7}
$$

Row 4:
7.
Problem: $\frac{5}{6} - \frac{1}{6} - \frac{2}{6}$
-
Solution: The denominators are the same, so subtract the numerators step by step:
$$
\frac{5}{6} - \frac{1}{6} - \frac{2}{6} = \frac{5 - 1 - 2}{6} = \frac{2}{6}
$$
Simplify $\frac{2}{6}$ to its lowest terms:
$$
\frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3}
$$
8.
Problem: $\frac{7}{9} - \frac{1}{9} - \frac{4}{9}$
-
Solution: The denominators are the same, so subtract the numerators step by step:
$$
\frac{7}{9} - \frac{1}{9} - \frac{4}{9} = \frac{7 - 1 - 4}{9} = \frac{2}{9}
$$

####
Row 5:
9.
Problem: $\frac{4}{5} - \frac{1}{5} - \frac{1}{5}$
-
Solution: The denominators are the same, so subtract the numerators step by step:
$$
\frac{4}{5} - \frac{1}{5} - \frac{1}{5} = \frac{4 - 1 - 1}{5} = \frac{2}{5}
$$
10.
Problem: $\frac{6}{7} - \frac{2}{7} - \frac{2}{7}$
-
Solution: The denominators are the same, so subtract the numerators step by step:
$$
\frac{6}{7} - \frac{2}{7} - \frac{2}{7} = \frac{6 - 2 - 2}{7} = \frac{2}{7}
$$

Final Answers:
$$
\boxed{
\begin{array}{cc}
\frac{1}{6} & \frac{2}{5} \\
\frac{5}{7} & \frac{1}{3} \\
\frac{3}{8} & \frac{1}{7} \\
\frac{1}{3} & \frac{2}{9} \\
\frac{2}{5} & \frac{2}{7}
\end{array}
}
