Answer:

Explanation:

First Part:

2/3-3/2

LCM of 3 and 2 = 6

2/3 x 2/2 = 4/6

3/2 x 3/3 = 9/6

9/6 - 4/6 = 5/6

Second Part:

3² = 3 x 3 = 9

9 - 17/3

Since 9 is a whole number let's take 9 as 9/1.

9/1 - 17/3

LCM of 1 and 3 = 3

9/1 x 3/3 = 27/3

27/3 - 17/3 = 10/3

Since there is no sign we will take them as multiplication.

5/6 x 10/3 = 50/18

Let's simplify this.

50/18 = 25/9

Since it is improper fraction let's convert them to mixed fraction.

25/9 = 2 7/9.
