Answer:

2

Explanation:

The easiest thing is to convert it to an improper fraction.

-2 1/9 turns into -19/9. -4 1/9 turns into -37/9.

-19/9 - (-37/9) here you would add because you are subtracting a negative number.

-19/9 + 37/9 change it to positive and then add.

-19+37=18

it was 18/9. that simplified is 2.
