4/9 - 3/9 is 1/9

(If you multiply the top and bottom of a fraction by the same number, it’s the same fraction)
1/3 = 3/9

Answer:


(1)/(9)

Explanation:

  1. Write it out:
    (4)/(9) - (1)/(3)
  2. Re-write 1/3, so it and 4/9s share a common denominator: 3 × 3 = 9, 1 × 3 = 3
  3. Re-write 1/3: 3/9
  4. Re-write the expression:
    (4)/(9) - (6)/(9)
  5. 4/9 - 3/9 = 1/9

I hope this helps!
