Question

4 and 8/9 - 1 and 4/5

Answer 1

Explanation:

`4(8)/(9)-1(4)/(5)\\=(44)/(9)-(9)/(5) \\=(44*5-9*9)/(y) \\=(220-81)/(45) \\=(139)/(45) \\=3(4)/(45)`

Answer 2

First, turn both fractions into improper fractions.

4 8/9 = 44/9

1 4/5 = 9/5

Second, find common denominators.

44/9 = 220/45

9/5 = 81/45

Third, subtract.

220/45 - 81/45 = 139/45

Fourth, simplify.

139/45 = 3 4/45

Best of Luck!
