Question

Can someone show me how I do this is simplest form.

Answer 1

`8 - 6(1)/(9) =(8* 9)/(1*9) -((6*9)+1)/(9)=(72)/(9)-(54+1)/(9)=(72)/(9)-(55)/(9)=(72-55)/(9) =(17)/(9)\\\\=\boxed{\bf{1(8)/(9)}}`

Answer 2

`8 - 6 (1)/(9) \\ \\ 8 - (6 * 9 + 1)/(9) \ / \ convert \ to \ improper \ fraction \\ \\ 8 - (54+1)/(9) \ / \ simplify \\ \\ 8 - (55)/(9) \ / \ simplify \\ \\ 8 * (9)/(9) - (55)/(9) \ / \ change \ denominators \ the \ same \\ \\ (72)/(9) - (55)/(9) \ / \ simplify \\ \\ (72 - 55)/(9) \ / \ combine \ denominators \\ \\ (17)/(9) \ / \ simplify \\ \\ 1 (8)/(9) \ / \ mixed \ fraction`

Answer: 1 8/9 or 1.8889
