Question
Evaluate:
$\frac{4}{9}-\frac{2}{-3}$
$\frac{4}{9}-\frac{2}{-3}$
✓
Answer
$\frac{4}{9}-\frac{2}{-3}$
LCM of 9 and 3 = 9
$\therefore\frac{2}{-3}=\frac{2\times(-1)}{-3\times(-1)}=\frac{-2}{3}$
$=\frac{-2\times3}{3\times3}=\frac{-6}{9}$
$\therefore\frac{4}{9}-\frac{2}{-3}=\frac{4}{9}-\Big(\frac{-6}{9}\Big)$
$=\frac{4}{9}+\frac{6}{9}$
$=\frac{4+6}{9}$
$=\frac{10}{9}$
LCM of 9 and 3 = 9
$\therefore\frac{2}{-3}=\frac{2\times(-1)}{-3\times(-1)}=\frac{-2}{3}$
$=\frac{-2\times3}{3\times3}=\frac{-6}{9}$
$\therefore\frac{4}{9}-\frac{2}{-3}=\frac{4}{9}-\Big(\frac{-6}{9}\Big)$
$=\frac{4}{9}+\frac{6}{9}$
$=\frac{4+6}{9}$
$=\frac{10}{9}$
