Answer 2

Answer:

the first one

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's how to subtract 2/6 from 5/9:

5

9

−

2

6

Step 1

We can't subtract two fractions with different denominators. So you need to get a common denominator. To do this, you'll multiply the denominators times each other... but the numerators have to change, too. They get multiplied by the other term's denominator.

So we multiply 5 by 6, and get 30.

Then we multiply 2 by 9, and get 18.

Next we give both terms new denominators -- 9 × 6 = 54.

So now our fractions look like this:

30

54

−

18

54

Step 2

Since our denominators match, we can subtract the numerators.

30 − 18 = 12

So the answer is:

12

54
