Solve 14/9-2/3=

$$1 \frac { 4 } { 9 } - \frac { 2 } { 3 } =$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{7}{9}\approx 0.777777778$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 1 and 9 to get 9.

$$\frac{9+4}{9}-\frac{2}{3}$$

Add 9 and 4 to get 13.

$$\frac{13}{9}-\frac{2}{3}$$

Least common multiple of 9 and 3 is 9. Convert \frac{13}{9} and \frac{2}{3} to fractions with denominator 9.

$$\frac{13}{9}-\frac{6}{9}$$

Since \frac{13}{9} and \frac{6}{9} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
