Question

What is the value of the expression −6 4/9−1 1/3
?

Answer 1

75.5 − 32.55

Answer 2

To find the value of the expression, we need to subtract 1 1/3 from -6 4/9.

First, we find a common denominator for 9 and 3, which is 9.

-6 4/9 can be rewritten as -6 8/18.
-1 1/3 can be rewritten as -1 6/18.

Now, we can subtract the fractions:
-6 8/18 - (-1 6/18) = -6 8/18 + 1 6/18

To add these fractions, we need to find a common denominator, which is 18.

-6 8/18 + 1 6/18 = -6 + 1 + 8/18 + 6/18
= -5 + 14/18

Now, we simplify the fraction:
14/18 can be reduced to 7/9.

Therefore, the value of the expression -6 4/9 - 1 1/3 is -5 7/9.

Answer 3

To find the value of the expression 75.5 - 32.55, subtract the decimal numbers:

75.5 - 32.55 = 42.95
