Math Problem Statement

9/6 – 6/9

Solution

Let's simplify the expression:

9669\frac{9}{6} - \frac{6}{9}

First, simplify each fraction:

96=3×33×2=32\frac{9}{6} = \frac{3 \times 3}{3 \times 2} = \frac{3}{2}

69=2×33×3=23\frac{6}{9} = \frac{2 \times 3}{3 \times 3} = \frac{2}{3}

Now, subtract the two fractions:

3223\frac{3}{2} - \frac{2}{3}

To subtract these fractions, find a common denominator. The least common denominator (LCD) of 2 and 3 is 6.

32=3×32×3=96\frac{3}{2} = \frac{3 \times 3}{2 \times 3} = \frac{9}{6}

23=2×23×2=46\frac{2}{3} = \frac{2 \times 2}{3 \times 2} = \frac{4}{6}

Now, subtract the fractions:

9646=56\frac{9}{6} - \frac{4}{6} = \frac{5}{6}

So, the final simplified result is:

56\frac{5}{6}
