To subtract two fractions, we need a common denominator. The least common multiple of 6 and 9 is 18. Converting the fractions, five sixths becomes 15/18 and two ninths becomes 4/18. Therefore, five sixths minus two ninths is 15/18 - 4/18 = 11/18.
Firstly, do 11 minus 4 = 7. So, now we have 7 and two ninths, minus five ninths. Much easier, 6 and 6 ninths.
To subtract one third from five sixths, you first need a common denominator. The common denominator for 6 and 3 is 6. Five sixths remains the same, while one third can be converted to two sixths. Therefore, five sixths minus two sixths equals three sixths, which simplifies to one half.
11/6 minus 2/9 is 1 11/18
Two minus 5/6 is 1 1/6
6/7

18...i guess :P
11/6 minus 2/9 is 1 11/18
Two thirds minus two ninths is 4 ninths. Two thirds is 6 ninths. 6 ninths minus 2 ninths is 4 ninths.
Two minus 5/6 is 1 1/6
6/7
You have to convert your fractions so that they are all the same. In this case, we can use sixths. So two and three sixths (two and a half), minus one and four sixths (one and two thirds), would equal five sixths. Another way to do it is to convert the whole numbers to sixths as well. Fifteen sixths minus ten sixths equals five sixths.
To compare four sixths (4/6) and five ninths (5/9), we can simplify both fractions. Four sixths simplifies to two thirds (2/3), while five ninths also simplifies to five thirds (5/9). Since 2/3 is not equal to 5/9, four sixths is not equal to five ninths.
It is eight ninths.
Five and one third.
three and five sixths
one third? two sixths? three ninths? five fifteenths? six eighteenths? 33%? i could go on forever...
