Final answer:

To subtract mixed numbers, convert them to improper fractions, subtract the fractions, and simplify the result.


Step-by-step explanation:

To subtract the mixed numbers, we need to convert them to improper fractions.

The mixed number 9 1/-3/1/20 can be expressed as an improper fraction as follows:

9 1/-3/1/20 = (9 * 20 + 1) / -3 = 181 / -3

Now we can subtract the fractions:

181 / -3 - 1 / 20 = (181 * 20 - 1 * -3) / (-3 * 20) = 3638 / -60

Finally, we can simplify the fraction: 3638 / -60 = -3039 / 50

Therefore, the answer is -3039/50, which can also be written as -60 39/50.
