(-2/9) - (-3/11). Find a common denominator: [99], so we have (-22/99) - (-27/99)
Minus a negative is plus. Think of a car on a North-South road. Point the car North and that's positive; point it South and that's negative. To add, drive the car forward. To subtract, put the car in reverse and drive backward.
So [-2/9 = -22/99]: point the car South (negative direction) and drive 22/99 miles from a reference point (origin). Then [-3/11 = -27/99], the car is still pointing South, but since you are subtracting, drive backwards (North, which is positive) 27/99 miles.
So -22/99 + 27/99 = +5/99 (You will end up 5/99 miles North of the starting point)
nine minus four and three elevenths is four and eight elevenths
five-ninths, 5 _ 9
2 and 17/22
To subtract three fifths from nine elevenths, first find a common denominator, which is 55. Convert nine elevenths to fifty-fifths: (9/11 = 45/55) and three fifths to fifty-fifths: (3/5 = 33/55). Now subtract: (45/55 - 33/55 = 12/55). Therefore, nine elevenths minus three fifths equals (12/55).

Three of anything minus ten of the same thing leaves negative seven of them.
Three elevenths.
nine minus four and three elevenths is four and eight elevenths
The answer is -3.5
-8 and 2/9

One third is three ninths. So one ninth minus three ninths is minus two nights.
