Answer:
[tex]\frac{83}{36}=2.30=2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]6\frac{5}{12} -4\frac{1}{9}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{77}{12} -\frac{37}{9}[/tex]
Now make the denominator same and then subtract the fractions
LCD of 12 and 9 is 36
multiply 12 by 3 and 9 by 4 to get 36
[tex]\frac{77 \cdot 3}{12 \cdot 3} -\frac{37 \cdot 4}{9 \cdot 4}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{231}{36} -\frac{148}{36}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{83}{36}=2.30[/tex]
