Question

$$\frac { - 2 } { 3 } + \frac { 4 } { 9 }$$

$-\frac{2}{9}\approx -0.222222222$

Fraction $\frac{-2}{3}$ can be rewritten as $-\frac{2}{3}$ by extracting the negative sign.

$$-\frac{2}{3}+\frac{4}{9}$$

Least common multiple of $3$ and $9$ is $9$. Convert $-\frac{2}{3}$ and $\frac{4}{9}$ to fractions with denominator $9$.

$$-\frac{6}{9}+\frac{4}{9}$$

Since $-\frac{6}{9}$ and $\frac{4}{9}$ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{-6+4}{9}$$

Add $-6$ and $4$ to get $-2$.

$$-\frac{2}{9}$$

$-\frac{2}{9} = -0.2222222222222222$
