Question

Work out 4 1/9 - 3 3/5

Answer 1

Answer:

23/45

Step-by-step explanation:

$4 \frac{1}{9} - 3 \frac{3}{5}$

First turn them into improper fractions

(Whole number × denominator = ANS + Numberator = ANS Numberator) The number for denominator will remain the same.

$\frac{37}{9} - \frac{18}{5}$

in order to take away, the denominators need to be the the same. whatever you do to the bottom, you would do to the top.

9 x 5 = 45 5 x 9 = 45

37 x 5 = 185. 18 x 9 = 162

$\frac{185}{45} - \frac{162}{45}$

The demoninators now doesn't need to change. Take away the numerators.

185-162=23

$\frac{23}{45}$

Answer 2

4 5/45 + 3 27/45 = 7 32/45
