Answer: 9 1/3 - 2/3 = 8 2/3 .
___________________________________
Note: If the answer were "8 1/3" ;
then: "8 1/3 + 2/3 =? 9 1/3 ? "
→ "8 1/3 + 2/3 = 8 3/3 = 8 + 1 = 9 = only "9" ;
____________________________________________
So the answer has to be MORE than "8 1/3"
Try "8 2/3" → "8 2/3 + 2/3 =? 9 1/3?" ?? ;
→ "8 2/3 + 2/3 = 8 4/3 = 8 + 1 1/3 = 9 1/3 " → Yes!
_________________________________________________
So, the answer is: "8 2/3" .

Another method:

Given the problem: "<span>9 1/3 - 2/3 " ;
___________________________________
Note that: "2/3 = 1/3 + 1/3"
__________________________________
So, "</span><span>9 1/3 - 2/3 = 9 1/3 - (1/3 + 1/3) = 9 1/3 - 1/3 - 1/3 = ?
________________________________________________
Start with: "</span>9 1/3 - 2/3" = 9. Then 9 - 1/3 = 8 3/3 - 1/3 = 8 2/3.
<span>______________________________________________________
</span>Another method:
____________________________
Given the problem:
____________________________
"9 1/3 - 2/3 = ?? " ;
____________________________
Convert "9 1/3" into "28/3" ; ("3*9 = 27"); ("27+1=28");
(The "3" comes from the "3" in the: "1/3" portion.)
_________________________________________________________
So, we rewrite as:
_____________________________________
28/3 - 2/3 = (28 - 2) / 3 = 26/3 ; or, 8 2/3 .

When a company goes public it begins selling shares of stock in a public stock market. This means that i<span>t asks for money from investors and gives them a share of the company in return of their investment. </span>
The result is: The company gets the money and the investor gets a share in the company's ownership.<span>The investor gets a share and he becomes the owner of the company but he owns only a part corresponding to the number of shares he buys.</span>
The stock price per share was $8.60
Number of shares bought 1000
Total price for the shares:
(Cost per share)*(Number of shares)
=8.60*1000
=$8600
The stock price after 1 year $9.15
Total number of shares is 1000
Current price=(current share price)*(number of shares)
9.15*1000
=$9150
current value=(Current price)-(buying price)
=9150-8600
=$550
Net Profit=(Current value)-(Expenses)
=550-14
=$536

To solve this problem, you must find a common denominator. First, you multiply the denominators together, then, multiply the numerator of the first fraction by the original denominator of the second fraction and vis-versa.
3*4 = denominator of both
2*4 = numerator of first fraction
3*3 = numerator of second fraction
Your fractions should end up being 8/12 cups of raisins and 9/12 cup of almonds. You can now compare these fractions.
Overall, there are 1/12 more almonds than raisins.
