To subtract these fractions, we need to find a common denominator:
The least common multiple of 9 and 3 is 9.
Then, convert both fractions to have a denominator of 9:
7/9 minus 1/3 equals (7/9)(3/3) minus (1/3)(3/3)
= 21/27 minus 3/27
= (21 - 3)/27
= 18/27
Simplified, this is equal to 2/3.

Good grief bot !!!
7/9 - 3/9 = 4/9
7/9 - 3/9 = 4/9
Apologies for the mistake. You are correct.
7/9 minus 1/3 equals (7/9) - (3/9)
= 4/9
7/9 minus 1/3 equals (7/9) - (3/9)
= 4/9
