Answer 1

The simplified answer is $5\frac{2}{9}$.

Option: C.

Step-by-step explanation:

To simply $-3\frac{1}{9} - (-8\frac{1}{3} )$:

First convert this improper fraction into normal fraction.

$-3\frac{1}{9}$ = $\frac{-28}{9}$.

$-8\frac{1}{3}$ = $\frac{-25}{3}$.

Now we have to simplify $-\frac{28}{9} - (-\frac{25}{3} )$.

= $-\frac{28}{9} + \frac{25}{3}$.

After applying LCM to the denominators, Multiply the second term with 3 in both numerator and denominator.

= $-\frac{28}{9} + \frac{75}{9}$.

=$\frac{-28+75}{9}$.

=$\frac{47}{9}$.

Convert the answer in improper fraction form.

$\frac{47}{9}$ = $5\frac{2}{9}$.

Thus the simplified answer is $5\frac{2}{9}$.
