Q. Evaluate the expression shown below and write your answer as a fraction in simplest form.\newline119116 \frac{11}{9}-\frac{11}{6} \newlineAnswer:
  1. Identify Common Denominator: Identify a common denominator for the fractions (119)(\frac{11}{9}) and (116)(\frac{11}{6}). The common denominator for 99 and 66 is 1818, because 1818 is the least common multiple of 99 and 66.
  2. Convert to Equivalent Fractions: Convert each fraction to an equivalent fraction with the common denominator of 1818.\newlineFor 119\frac{11}{9}, multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 22 to get 2218\frac{22}{18}.\newlineFor 116\frac{11}{6}, multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 33 to get 3318\frac{33}{18}.
  3. Subtract Fractions: Subtract the two fractions with the common denominator.\newline(2218)(3318)=223318(\frac{22}{18}) - (\frac{33}{18}) = \frac{22 - 33}{18}
  4. Perform Numerical Subtraction: Perform the subtraction in the numerator.\newline2233=1122 - 33 = -11\newlineSo, the expression becomes (11)/18(-11)/18.
  5. Check for Simplification: Check if the fraction (11)/18(-11)/18 can be simplified further.\newlineThe numerator and the denominator have no common factors other than 11, so the fraction is already in its simplest form.
