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) |
