Answer: 1.29

Step-by-step explanation: 2/5 = 0.4.

1/9 = 0.1111...

So, 3-2 = 1.

0.4-0.1111 = .28888889 (its repeating so you are going to have a rounded number)

3-2= 1 --- .4 - .1111 = 2.8888889

= 1.288889 (The 8's are not exact as they keep repeating)

Round up to 1.29 and it will be correct.

Hope this helped:)
