1 answer

To find the result of the expression 1/3 - 2/9 - 1/3, we can apply the definition of subtraction and properties of operations.

First, let's subtract the fractions. To do this, we need to have a common denominator. The least common denominator (LCD) for 3 and 9 is 9. We can rewrite the fractions with this denominator:

1/3 = 3/9
2/9 = 2/9
1/3 = 3/9

Now, we can subtract the fractions:

3/9 - 2/9 - 3/9 = (3-2-3)/9 = -2/9

Therefore, the result of the expression 1/3 - 2/9 - 1/3 is -2/9.
