Solve 28/9-25/9

$$2 \frac { 8 } { 9 } - 2 \frac { 5 } { 9 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{1}{3}\approx 0.333333333$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 2 and 9 to get 18.

$$\frac{18+8}{9}-\frac{2\times 9+5}{9}$$

Add 18 and 8 to get 26.

$$\frac{26}{9}-\frac{2\times 9+5}{9}$$

Multiply 2 and 9 to get 18.

$$\frac{26}{9}-\frac{18+5}{9}$$

Add 18 and 5 to get 23.

$$\frac{26}{9}-\frac{23}{9}$$

Since \frac{26}{9} and \frac{23}{9} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{26-23}{9}$$

Subtract 23 from 26 to get 3.

$$\frac{3}{9}$$

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

$$\frac{1}{3}$$

Factor

$$\frac{1}{3} = 0.3333333333333333$$
