Answer: (1 and 22/45)
Explanation:
I guess that we are working with mixed numbers here, and we have the equation:
(8÷2 2/9) − (2 11/15)
first we solve: 8÷2 = 4.
Now, we can write this as:
(4 + 2/9) - (2 + 11/15)
(4 - 2) + (2/9 - 11/15)
now, 9*5 = 45
15*3 = 45
then we can write the right side as: 2/9 - 11/5 = 10/45 - 33/45 = -23/45
2 - 23/45
But in mixed numbers we also need to work with a positive rational, then we have:
2 - 23/45 = 1 + 1 -23/45 = 1 + 45/45 - 23/45 = 1 + 22/45
then the solution is:
(1 and 22/45)
