Answer 2

1)

$\frac{-1}{3} - \frac{-1}{2}$

$= \frac{-1}{3} + \frac{1}{2}$

$=(\frac{2}{2}) \frac{-1}{3} + (\frac{3}{3})\frac{1}{2}$

$= \frac{-2}{6} + \frac{3}{6}$

$= \frac{1}{6}$

2)

$-9\frac{1}{3} - (-1\frac{1}{3})$

$=-9\frac{1}{3} + 1\frac{1}{3}$

$=-\frac{3(9)+1}{3} + \frac{3(1) + 1}{3}$

$=\frac{-28}{3} + \frac{4}{3}$

$=\frac{-24}{3}$

= -8
