and you have to have a common denominator so you take 3 and 9 and find what they both go into and that number is 9 so take 2/3 and times the top and bottom by 3 to get 6/9 and 2/9 by 1 to get 2/9 once you have those subtract them to get 4/9 and that's your first answer then take them and add so you get 8/9 which is your second answer.
