In order to do this, you have to change 9 into fraction or mixed number form. In this case, 9 is the same as 99/11 or 8 11/11. Using them, we can take 3 from the numerator making our answer either 96/11 or 8 8/11. 
*When you try your best but you don't succeed*

9/1 - 3/11

LCD = 11

99/11 - 3/11 = 96/11

96/11 Reduces to 8 8/11

Answer: 8 8/11
