2/9-2/3

Let's evaluate: $\frac{2}{9}-\frac{2}{3}$

ⓘ Add fractions by using a common denominator and then adding their numerators. We choose $9$, the least common multiple of $9$ and $3$. Multiplying the numerator and the denominator by the same number does not change the fraction: $\frac{2}{9}-\frac{2}{3}$ = $\frac{2}{9}-\frac{2\times 3}{3\times 3}$ = $\frac{2-2\times 3}{9}$

$\frac{2-2\times 3}{9}$

ⓘ Perform multiplications before additions and subtractions: $2\times 3$ = $6$

$\frac{2-6}{9}$

ⓘ The numerator and the denominator are computed before the division: $2-6$ = $-4$

▶Result:   $-\frac{4}{9}$

The numeric value of: $-\frac{4}{9}$ is:

▷ $\approx -0.4444$
