Answer:

19 1/11

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we first need to convert all of the fractions to a common denominator. To do this, we find the least common multiple of the denominators, which is 55. Then, we multiply each fraction by the necessary multiple to get the fractions to have a denominator of 55:

24 1/10 - 5 9/11 = (245 + 1)/(105) - (55 + 9)/(115) = 121/50 - 29/55

Next, we can add or subtract the fractions by adding or subtracting the numerators and keeping the denominator the same:

121/50 - 29/55 = (121 - 29)/55 = 92/55

Finally, we can simplify the fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 11:

92/55 = (92/11)/(55/11) = 8/5

The final answer is 8/5, which is equivalent to 19 1/11.
