$$\frac{3}{4}-\frac{4}{(-9)}$$

$\frac{43}{36}\approx 1.194444444$

Fraction $\frac{4}{-9}$ can be rewritten as $-\frac{4}{9}$ by extracting the negative sign.

$$\frac{3}{4}-\left(-\frac{4}{9}\right)$$

The opposite of $-\frac{4}{9}$ is $\frac{4}{9}$.

$$\frac{3}{4}+\frac{4}{9}$$

Least common multiple of $4$ and $9$ is $36$. Convert $\frac{3}{4}$ and $\frac{4}{9}$ to fractions with denominator $36$.

$$\frac{27}{36}+\frac{16}{36}$$

Since $\frac{27}{36}$ and $\frac{16}{36}$ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{27+16}{36}$$

Add $27$ and $16$ to get $43$.

$$\frac{43}{36}$$

$\frac{43}{2 ^ {2} \cdot 3 ^ {2}} = 1\frac{7}{36} = 1.1944444444444444$
