Solve the Fraction Problem: 3/9 minus 1/9

Question

Solve the following exercise:

$\frac{3}{9}-\frac{1}{9}=\text{?}$

00:00 Solve

00:03 First, let's mark the number of squares we have according to the given data

00:07 Now let's subtract the number of squares according to the appropriate fraction

00:12 The remaining number of squares is the numerator of the answer

00:15 The denominator of the answer equals the number of parts

00:18 And this is the solution to the question

To solve this problem, we'll subtract two fractions with a common denominator. Here is the step-by-step process:

Step 1: Identify the numerators: The numbers on top of the fractions are 3 and 1.
Step 2: Subtract the numerators: Calculate $3 - 1 = 2$ .
Step 3: Retain the common denominator: Since the two fractions have the same denominator, 9, retain this in the result.

Thus, the result of subtracting $\frac{1}{9}$ from $\frac{3}{9}$ is $\frac{2}{9}$ .

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $\frac{2}{9}$ .

$\frac{2}{9}$
