Answer 2

Answer:

=> 1.181

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the data given in the question, we have to simplify the expression.

Given that:-

$\frac{5}{9}-(\frac{-5}{8} )$

We calculate the expressions inside the parenthesis first,

$=>\frac{5}{9}-(-0.625 )$

Now, by dividing 5 by 9 we get,

=> 0.556 - ( - 0.625)

When two negative signs are combined, one of them flips over, resulting in a positive.

=> 0.556 + 0.625

=> 1.181

Hence, the simplified value for $\frac{5}{9}-(\frac{-5}{8} )$ is 1.181
