7 1/9 - 4 2/3

Answer 1

could someone check my answer after couple of steps I got 1 26/7

Answer 2

You need to get a common denominator which in this problem is 9.

4 2/3 = 4 6/9

7 1/9 = 8 10/9

8 10/9 - 4 6/9 = 4 4/9

Answer 3

I did it differently and I guess I missed a couple of steps along the way..thank you

Answer 4

Sorry -- I guess my finger slipped --

7 1/9 = 6 10/9

6 10/9 - 4 6/9 = 2 4/9
