#6 8/9#

#9 7/9 - 2 8/9#

First, we can convert them into improper fractions.

#9 7/9=88/9#

#2 8/9=26/9#

Now, we can substitute those values into the original problem.

#=88/9-26/9#

#=(88-26)/9#

#=62/9#

If you want, you can convert this number into a proper fraction.

#62/9=54/9+8/9#

#:.62/9=6+8/9#

#62/9=6 8/9#

So, the final answer is #6 8/9#.
