here is the solution for Q3 b again, as requested:

b) Subtract $\frac{-5}{9}$ from $\frac{2}{3}$ .

Set up the subtraction.
Remember that "subtract A from B" means $B - A$ .
$\frac{2}{3} - \left(\frac{-5}{9}\right)$
When subtracting a negative number, it becomes addition.
$\frac{2}{3} + \frac{5}{9}$
Find a common denominator for 3 and 9.
The least common multiple is 9.
$\frac{2 \times 3}{3 \times 3} + \frac{5}{9} = \frac{6}{9} + \frac{5}{9}$
Perform the addition of the numerators while keeping the common denominator.
$\frac{6 + 5}{9} = \frac{11}{9}$
The answer is $\frac{11}{9}$ .
