Answer 2

Here is the equation:

$18 - 4 \frac{8}{9}$

Since you're subtracting a mixed number, make the whole number as a mixed number, and subtract.

$18 \rightarrow 17 \frac{9}{9}$

Your new equation is:

$17 \frac{9}{9} - 4 \frac{8}{9}$

First subtract the whole numbers:

$17-4=13$

Now subtract the fraction:

$\frac{9}{9} - \frac{8}{9} = \frac{1}{9}$

Add the whole number and fraction:

$13 + \frac{1}{9} = 13 \frac {1}{9}$

Your answer is $13 \frac{1}{9}$
