Question

Can anyone tell me what the answer to this problem is 3 1/3 - 1 2/9

Answer 1

To solve the problem, we can first change the denominator into the same:

3 1/3 - 1 2/9
= 3 (1×3)/(3×3) - 1 2/9
= 3 3/9 - 1 2/9

We can then proceed to carry deduction:

3 3/9 - 1 2/9
= 2 1/9

Therefore the answer is 2 1/9.
