Solution

Let's solve the problems step by step. The image contains six fraction problems. I'll provide solutions for each.


Problem (10):

1923\frac{1}{9} - \frac{2}{3}

  1. Find a common denominator between 99 and 33. The least common denominator (LCD) is 99.
    Rewrite 23\frac{2}{3} as 69\frac{6}{9}:
    1923=1969\frac{1}{9} - \frac{2}{3} = \frac{1}{9} - \frac{6}{9}

  2. Subtract the fractions:
    1969=59\frac{1}{9} - \frac{6}{9} = \frac{-5}{9}

Answer: 59-\frac{5}{9}


Problem (11):

1923\frac{1}{9} - \frac{2}{3}

This is the same as Problem (10). The solution is:
Answer: 59-\frac{5}{9}


Problem (12):

2319\frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{9}

  1. Find the LCD between 99 and 33. The LCD is 99.
    Rewrite 23\frac{2}{3} as 69\frac{6}{9}:
    2319=6919\frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{9} = \frac{6}{9} - \frac{1}{9}

  2. Subtract the fractions:
    6919=59\frac{6}{9} - \frac{1}{9} = \frac{5}{9}

Answer: 59\frac{5}{9}


Problem (13):

23+19-\frac{2}{3} + \frac{1}{9}

  1. Find the LCD between 33 and 99. The LCD is 99.
    Rewrite 23-\frac{2}{3} as 69-\frac{6}{9}:
    23+19=69+19-\frac{2}{3} + \frac{1}{9} = -\frac{6}{9} + \frac{1}{9}

  2. Add the fractions:
    69+19=59-\frac{6}{9} + \frac{1}{9} = -\frac{5}{9}

Answer: 59-\frac{5}{9}


Problem (14):

19+23-\frac{1}{9} + \frac{2}{3}

  1. Find the LCD between 99 and 33. The LCD is 99.
    Rewrite 23\frac{2}{3} as 69\frac{6}{9}:
    19+23=19+69-\frac{1}{9} + \frac{2}{3} = -\frac{1}{9} + \frac{6}{9}

  2. Add the fractions:
    19+69=59-\frac{1}{9} + \frac{6}{9} = \frac{5}{9}

Answer: 59\frac{5}{9}


Problem (15):

29+23-\frac{2}{9} + \frac{2}{3}

  1. Find the LCD between 99 and 33. The LCD is 99.
    Rewrite 23\frac{2}{3} as 69\frac{6}{9}:
    29+23=29+69-\frac{2}{9} + \frac{2}{3} = -\frac{2}{9} + \frac{6}{9}

  2. Add the fractions:
    29+69=49-\frac{2}{9} + \frac{6}{9} = \frac{4}{9}

Answer: 49\frac{4}{9}


Problem (16):

23+29-\frac{2}{3} + \frac{2}{9}

  1. Find the LCD between 33 and 99. The LCD is 99.
    Rewrite 23-\frac{2}{3} as 69-\frac{6}{9}:
    23+29=69+29-\frac{2}{3} + \frac{2}{9} = -\frac{6}{9} + \frac{2}{9}

  2. Add the fractions:
    69+29=49-\frac{6}{9} + \frac{2}{9} = -\frac{4}{9}

Answer: 49-\frac{4}{9}
