Change both numbers to single fractions with a common denominator of 117
7 2/9 - 4 5/8 Step one , bring to improper(top heavy) fractions. 65/9 - 37/8 Step two bring to a common denominator (9 x 8 = 72) in this case, and equivalent numerators. Hence [65(8) - 37(9)] / 72 Step 3 Multiply out the curved brackets. [520 - 333 ] / 72 Step 4 subtract the numerators 187/72 Step 5 Reduced to a mixed number. 2 43/72 The answer!!!!! NB This fraction will NOT reduce any further as '43' is a prime number'. NNB Looking at the original coefficients of '7' & '4', when subtract make '3'. However, allowing for the fractional component, then '2' is a correct coefficient. Hope that helps!!!!!!
When you add three of something to four of something, you get seven of something. It doesn't matter what the somethings are. Think of ninths as somethings. If you add three ninths and four ninths, you have to wind up with seven ninths. You can't wind up with seven eighteenths, because you weren't adding eighteenths to begin with.
2/3 = 6/9 6 - 7 = -1/9
Seven ninths minus four ninths is 1/3.
