1 and 8/9
five-ninths, 5 _ 9
7/9
Five ninths times three fifths is one third.
No. Three ninths is equivalent to one third.
5/9 minus 1/3 is 2/9
You can restate "one third" as "three ninths"; then subtracting three ninths from five ninths leaves two ninths: 5/9 - 3/9 = 2/9
Five and four-ninths
Firstly, do 11 minus 4 = 7. So, now we have 7 and two ninths, minus five ninths. Much easier, 6 and 6 ninths.
Five ninths.
One whole is nine ninths. Nine ninths minus four ninths equals five ninths.
1 third = 3 ninths, 3 ninths - 2 ninths = 1 ninth.
