Solve -2/2-4/9-2

$$- \frac { 2 } { 2 } - \frac { 4 } { 9 } - 2$$

Evaluate

$$-\frac{31}{9}\approx -3.444444444$$

Solution Steps

Divide 2 by 2 to get 1.

$$-1-\frac{4}{9}-2$$

Convert -1 to fraction -\frac{9}{9}.

$$-\frac{9}{9}-\frac{4}{9}-2$$

Since -\frac{9}{9} and \frac{4}{9} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{-9-4}{9}-2$$

Subtract 4 from -9 to get -13.

$$-\frac{13}{9}-2$$

Convert 2 to fraction \frac{18}{9}.

$$-\frac{13}{9}-\frac{18}{9}$$

Since -\frac{13}{9} and \frac{18}{9} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{-13-18}{9}$$

Subtract 18 from -13 to get -31.

$$-\frac{31}{9}$$

Factor

$$-\frac{31}{9} = -3\frac{4}{9} = -3.4444444444444446$$
