First, turn both fractions into improper fractions.
4 8/9 = 44/9
1 4/5 = 9/5
Second, find common denominators.
44/9 = 220/45
9/5 = 81/45
Third, subtract.
220/45 - 81/45 = 139/45
Fourth, simplify.
139/45 = 3 4/45
Best of Luck!
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]4\frac{8}{9}-1\frac{4}{5}\\=\frac{44}{9}-\frac{9}{5} \\=\frac{44*5-9*9}{y} \\=\frac{220-81}{45} \\=\frac{139}{45} \\=3\frac{4}{45}[/tex]
