i will give brainlist

3 1/3 - 1 5/9

get a common denominator 9

3 1/3*3/3 - 1 5/9

3 3/9 - 1 5/9

borrow from the 3

2 9/9+3/9 - 1 5/9

2 12/9 - 1 5/9

1 7/9

 16/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

3 + 1/3 - (1 + 5/9)

Put 1 + 5/9 over the common denominator 9. 1 + 5/9 = 9/9 + 5/9:

3 + 1/3 - 9/9 + 5/9

9/9 + 5/9 = (9 + 5)/9:

3 + 1/3 - (9 + 5)/9

9 + 5 = 14:

3 + 1/3 - 14/9

Put 3 + 1/3 - 14/9 over the common denominator 9. 3 + 1/3 - 14/9 = (9×3)/9 + 3/9 - 14/9:

(9×3)/9 + 3/9 - 14/9

9×3 = 27:

27/9 + 3/9 - 14/9

27/9 + 3/9 - 14/9 = (27 + 3 - 14)/9:

(27 + 3 - 14)/9
