Answer:

Below

Explanation:

To add or subtract fractions they must have a common denominator

you can multiply them together to find A common denominator

2 x 9 = 18

so now yo have to convert the fractions to 18ths

1/2 * 9/9 ( this is just multiplying by '1') = 9/18

5/9 * 2/2 = 10 / 18

now 1/2 - 5/9 then equals 9/18 - 10/18 = (9-10)/18 = - 1/18
