<PRE><B>Question 473753</B>
7 1/9 - 4 2/3 I need help solving this I am confused
---------------
It&#39;s not solving, just simplifying or subtracting.
------------
7 1/9 - 4 2/3
Change to fractions
= {{{64/9 - 14/3}}}
Get the same denominators by changing 14/3 to 42/9
= {{{64/9 - 42/9}}}
Now combine
= {{{(64 - 42)/9}}}
= {{{22/9}}}
----------------
You can make it a mixed number, but there&#39;s no advantage to that.
= 2 4/9
