Two fifths of the difference between nine and five thirds

1 answer

To find two fifths of the difference between nine and five thirds, we first need to find the difference between nine and five thirds:

9 - 5/3 = 27/3 - 5/3 = 22/3

Now, we need to find two fifths of this difference:

(2/5) * (22/3) = 44/15

Therefore, the value of the expression is 44/15.
