Answer 2

Here is the equation:

`18 - 4 (8)/(9)`

Since you're subtracting a mixed number, make the whole number as a mixed number, and subtract.

`18 \rightarrow 17 (9)/(9)`

Your new equation is:

`17 (9)/(9) - 4 (8)/(9)`

First subtract the whole numbers:

`17-4=13`

Now subtract the fraction:

`(9)/(9) - (8)/(9) = (1)/(9)`

Add the whole number and fraction:

`13 + (1)/(9) = 13 \frac {1}{9}`

Your answer is
`13 (1)/(9)`
