Question

Work out

4 1/9 - 3 3/5

Answer 1

4 5/45 + 3 27/45 = 7 32/45

Answer 2

23/45

Explanation:

`4 (1)/(9) - 3 (3)/(5)`

First turn them into improper fractions

(Whole number × denominator = ANS + Numberator = ANS Numberator) The number for denominator will remain the same.

`(37)/(9) - (18)/(5)`

in order to take away, the denominators need to be the the same. whatever you do to the bottom, you would do to the top.

9 x 5 = 45 5 x 9 = 45

37 x 5 = 185. 18 x 9 = 162

`(185)/(45) - (162)/(45)`

The demoninators now doesn't need to change. Take away the numerators.

185-162=23

`(23)/(45)`
