9 1/6 - 5 7/9 =
Bryce/Amari -- you can figure out this problem the same way I showed you for your last problem.
The common denominator is 18.
Ok I think I got it.
9 1/6 -5 7/9= 8 21/18
8 21/18 - 2 14/18= 6 7/18
To subtract mixed fractions, we need to first make sure that both fractions have the same denominator.
Let's convert 1/6 and 7/9 to fractions with a common denominator. The least common multiple (LCM) of 6 and 9 is 18.
1/6 = (1 × 3)/(6 × 3) = 3/18
7/9 = (7 × 2)/(9 × 2) = 14/18
Now that both fractions have the same denominator, we can subtract them:
9 1/6 - 5 7/9 = (9 - 5) + (1/6 - 7/9)
9 - 5 = 4
To subtract the fractions, subtract the numerators while keeping the denominator the same:
1/6 - 7/9 = (1 × 3)/(6 × 3) - (7 × 2)/(9 × 2)
= 3/18 - 14/18
Now, subtract the numerators:
3/18 - 14/18 = (3 - 14)/18 = -11/18
Combining the whole number with the fraction:
4 - 11/18
Therefore, 9 1/6 - 5 7/9 = 4 - 11/18.
