How do you subtract 4 4/9 - 2 7/9=

Answer 1

You can make each of the fractions improper and subtract from there, and then change your difference/sum to a mixed number.

Answer 2

You would need to turn 4 4/9 and 2 7/9 into mix numbers. This would leave you with 50/9 - 25/9. Since the denominators are the same  you just need to subtract the numerators 50 - 25 = 25. So the answer is 25/9
