Answer: 14/9
Alternate Answer: 1 5/9 , 1.5 repeating
Explanation: Convert the mixed number into an improper fraction. So 4 1/3 turns into 13/3 and 2 7/9 turns into 25/9. Then subtract and you get 14/9.

Answer: 1 2/3 or 5/3

Step-by-step explanation: if you change 4 1/3 to a different denominator of 9, you will get 4 3/9. Then, you will do 4 3/9-2 7/9 which equals 1 2/3.
