Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{5}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Apply the formula of subtraction to the equation.

$\frac{4}{3} -\frac{7}{9}$

$\frac{(4*9)-(7*3)}{(3*9)} =\frac{15}{27}$

2) Simplify by dividing the fraction (numerator and denominator) by the GCF. (Greatest Common Factor)

GCF(15,27)=3

$\frac{15/3}{27/3} = \frac{5}{9}$

Therefore, your answer is:

$\frac{4}{3} - \frac{7}{9} = \frac{5}{9}$
