Answer :
Final answer:
Subtract the fractions and whole numbers separately. Borrow 1 from the whole number if necessary. Thus, 9 9/15 - 2 13/15 equals 6 11/15.
Explanation:
Firstly, to subtract mixed numbers, we start by subtracting the fraction parts of the numbers. Here we have 9/15 - 13/15. As the fraction we are subtracting is larger than the fraction we are subtracting from, we need to borrow 1 from the whole number. In this case, 9/15 becomes 24/15. Now we can subtract 13/15 from 24/15 which gives us 11/15.
Next, we move on to the whole numbers. After borrowing, we subtract 2 from 8 (as 9 became 8 after borrowing), which gives us 6.
Therefore, the subtraction of 9 9/15 - 2 13/15 equals 6 11/15 in its simplest form.
