Solution Steps

Multiply 16 and 3 to get 48.

$$\frac{48}{9}-\frac{4\times 3}{9}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{48}{9} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.

$$\frac{16}{3}-\frac{4\times 3}{9}$$

Multiply 4 and 3 to get 12.

$$\frac{16}{3}-\frac{12}{9}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{12}{9} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.

$$\frac{16}{3}-\frac{4}{3}$$

Since \frac{16}{3} and \frac{4}{3} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
