Question 10.
On subtracting $\frac{5}{9}$ from $\frac{19}{9}$, the result is
(a) $\frac{24}{9}$
(b) $\frac{14}{9}$
(c) $\frac{14}{18}$
(d) $\frac{14}{0}$

Answer 1

(b)

Fractions with same denominators can be subtracted by simply subtracting the numerators and writing the common denominator as it is.
$\therefore$ $\frac{19}{9}$ - $\frac{5}{9}$ = $\frac{19-5}{9}$ = $\frac{14}{9}$
