Question

What is the answer to this problem?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{7}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

If you add a number that is negative, you are basically subtracting it.

This means that

$\frac{8}{9}+\left(-\frac{1}{9}\right)=\frac{8}{9}-\frac{1}{9}$

Since they both have the same denominator, you can easily subtract the fractions: $\frac{8-1}{9}=\frac{7}{9}$
