Subtract : (5/9) from (-2/3)

Answer»

(5/9) from (-2/3)

We have:

= (-2/3) – (5/9)

= (-2/3) + (additive inverse of 5/9)

= (-2/3) + (-5/9)

LCM of 3 and 9 is 9

Express each of the given rational numbers with the above LCM as the common denominator.

Now,

= [(-2×3)/ (3×3)] = (-6/9)

= [(-5×1)/ (9×1)] = (-5/9)

Then,

= (-6/9) + (-5/9)

= (-6-5)/9

= (-11/9)
