[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

To subtract fractions, the denominators must be the same. So, we need to find an equivalent fraction for both 1/3 and 5/9 with the same denominator.

Step 1: Find the least common multiple (LCM) of 3 and 9, which is 9.

Step 2: Convert the fractions to have a denominator of 9:
1/3 = (1/3) * (3/3) = 3/9
5/9 = 5/9

Now that both fractions have the same denominator, we can subtract them:

5/9 - 3/9 = (5 - 3)/9 = 2/9

Therefore, the equivalent fraction to subtract 1/3 from 5/9 is 2/9.
