Question

$$5\frac{1}{9}-2-\frac{1}{3}=$$

Evaluate

$\frac{25}{9}\approx 2.777777778$

Solution Steps

Multiply $5$ and $9$ to get $45$.

$$\frac{45+1}{9}-2-\frac{1}{3}$$

Add $45$ and $1$ to get $46$.

$$\frac{46}{9}-2-\frac{1}{3}$$

Convert $2$ to fraction $\frac{18}{9}$.

$$\frac{46}{9}-\frac{18}{9}-\frac{1}{3}$$

Since $\frac{46}{9}$ and $\frac{18}{9}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{46-18}{9}-\frac{1}{3}$$

Subtract $18$ from $46$ to get $28$.

$$\frac{28}{9}-\frac{1}{3}$$

Least common multiple of $9$ and $3$ is $9$. Convert $\frac{28}{9}$ and $\frac{1}{3}$ to fractions with denominator $9$.

$$\frac{28}{9}-\frac{3}{9}$$

Since $\frac{28}{9}$ and $\frac{3}{9}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{28-3}{9}$$

Subtract $3$ from $28$ to get $25$.

$$\frac{25}{9}$$
