To subtract 3/5 from -1/9, we need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple of 5 and 9 is 45.
So, we rewrite the fractions with the common denominator of 45:
-1/9 = -5/45
Now, we can subtract the fractions:
-5/45 - 3/5
To subtract these fractions, we need to have a common denominator. The denominator of -5/45 is already a multiple of 5, so we just need to multiply the numerator and denominator of 3/5 by 9:
-5/45 - (3×9)/(5×9)
= -5/45 - 27/45
Now we can subtract the numerators:
= (-5 - 27)/45
= -32/45
So, the simplified answer is -32/45 when subtracting 3/5 from -1/9.
So, we rewrite the fractions with the common denominator of 45:
-1/9 = -5/45
Now, we can subtract the fractions:
-5/45 - 3/5
To subtract these fractions, we need to have a common denominator. The denominator of -5/45 is already a multiple of 5, so we just need to multiply the numerator and denominator of 3/5 by 9:
-5/45 - (3×9)/(5×9)
= -5/45 - 27/45
Now we can subtract the numerators:
= (-5 - 27)/45
= -32/45
So, the simplified answer is -32/45 when subtracting 3/5 from -1/9.
