Answers

Answer
dont say the fractions like 17 \frac{4}{9 just say it like 17 4/9
Answer
dont forget the other fractions besides 17 4/9
Answer
this need fixing. \( \frac{157}{9} \) \frac{5}{9} \frac{162}{9} make sure to have them be the normal fractions and not this complex type
Answer
the fractions are still bugged

To solve the expression \( 17 \frac{4}{9} + \frac{5}{9} - 8 - 10 \), follow these steps:

1. **Convert mixed number to improper fraction**:
- \( 17 \frac{4}{9} = \frac{17 \times 9 + 4}{9} = \frac{153 + 4}{9} = \frac{157}{9} \)

2. **Combine fractions**:
- \( \frac{157}{9} + \frac{5}{9} = \frac{157 + 5}{9} = \frac{162}{9} = 18 \)

3. **Simplify the whole number subtraction**:
- Now, we have \( 18 - 8 - 10 \).
- First subtract: \( 18 - 8 = 10 \)
- Then subtract again: \( 10 - 10 = 0 \)

So, the final answer is **0**.

Sure! Let's simplify the expression \( 17 4/9 + 5/9 - 8 - 10 \):

1. **Convert the mixed number**:
- Change \( 17 4/9 \) to an improper fraction:
- Multiply: \( 17 \times 9 = 153 \), then add 4: \( 153 + 4 = 157 \), so it becomes \( \frac{157}{9} \).

2. **Combine fractions**:
- Now add \( \frac{157}{9} + \frac{5}{9} = \frac{162}{9} = 18 \).

3. **Subtract the whole numbers**:
- Start with \( 18 - 8 = 10 \).
- Then \( 10 - 10 = 0 \).

So, the final answer is **0**.

I apologize for that! Let’s go through the steps using plain fractions without the complicated formatting:

1. **Convert 17 4/9 to an improper fraction**:
- 17 4/9 = (17 × 9 + 4)/9 = (153 + 4)/9 = 157/9

2. **Add the fractions**:
- Now add 157/9 + 5/9:
- (157 + 5)/9 = 162/9 = 18

3. **Subtract 8 and 10**:
- Now subtract: 18 - 8 = 10
- Then subtract again: 10 - 10 = 0

So, the final answer is **0**!
