Answer:
Answer: 16/9
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplify the following:
3 + 1/3 - (1 + 5/9)
Put 1 + 5/9 over the common denominator 9. 1 + 5/9 = 9/9 + 5/9:
3 + 1/3 - 9/9 + 5/9
9/9 + 5/9 = (9 + 5)/9:
3 + 1/3 - (9 + 5)/9
9 + 5 = 14:
3 + 1/3 - 14/9
Put 3 + 1/3 - 14/9 over the common denominator 9. 3 + 1/3 - 14/9 = (9×3)/9 + 3/9 - 14/9:
(9×3)/9 + 3/9 - 14/9
9×3 = 27:
27/9 + 3/9 - 14/9
27/9 + 3/9 - 14/9 = (27 + 3 - 14)/9:
(27 + 3 - 14)/9
