Answer:

When subtracts fractions with the same denominator, you only have to subtract the numerator.

5/9-3/9=

The denominators are the same, you just have to subtract the denominator. So in this case, you would only need to subtract 5-3. Therefore the answer would be 2/9. (Simplify if needed.)

Hope this Helps!
