Question

Subtract and simplify the answer. 8/9 - 1/3

Answer 1

We want to simplify

`(8)/(9)-(1)/(3)`

Now

`\begin{gathered} (8)/(9)-(1)/(3)=(8)/(9)-(1*3)/(3*3) \\ (8)/(9)-(1)/(3)=(8)/(9)-(3)/(9) \\ (8)/(9)-(1)/(3)=(8-3)/(9) \\ (8)/(9)-(1)/(3)=(5)/(9) \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the answer is

`(5)/(9)`
