Question

Lindsay prepared 9 containers of fruit punch for a party. After the party, there were still 4 4/9 containers of fruit punch left. How many containers were consumed in the party?

Answer 1

Turn 9 into
`(81)/(9)`. Then, convert 4
`(4)/(9)` into a improper faction (
`(40)/(9)` ). Then, subtract

`(81)/(9) - (40)/(9) = (41)/(9)`. Lastly, convert
`(41)/(9)` to a mixed fraction (
`4(4)/(9)` ).

Your answer is
`4(4)/(9)`.
