Question

Evaluate each of the following:
$\left(iv\right).-2-\frac{5}{9}$

Answer 1

To find: $-2-\frac{5}{9}$

$\therefore -2-\frac{5}{9}=\frac{-2}{1}-\frac{5}{9}$ $(\because -2=\frac{-2}{1})$

$=\frac{-2\times 9}{1\times 9}-\frac{5}{9}$

$=\frac{-18}{9}-\frac{5}{9}$

$=\frac{-18-5}{9}$

$=\frac{-23}{9}$

Thus, $-2-\frac{5}{9}=\frac{-23}{9}$
