Question

What is the difference?
4/3-7/9

Answer 1

`(5)/(9)`

Explanation:

1) Apply the formula of subtraction to the equation.

`(4)/(3) -(7)/(9)`

`((4*9)-(7*3))/((3*9)) =(15)/(27)`

2) Simplify by dividing the fraction (numerator and denominator) by the GCF. (Greatest Common Factor)

GCF(15,27)=3

`(15/3)/(27/3) = (5)/(9)`

Therefore, your answer is:

`(4)/(3) - (7)/(9) = (5)/(9)`

Answer 2

Explanation:

4/3-7/9=12/9-7/9=5/9.
