Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{2}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

• As per the data given in the question, we need to subtract $-\frac{8}{9}$ from $-\frac{2}{3}$

• To subtract the given fractions, we need to find the LCM of denominators

• LCM of $3,9=9$

Now,

$-\frac{2}{3} -(-\frac{8}{9} )$

• On multiplying two negative signs, we get two positive signs

$=-\frac{2}{3} +\frac{8}{9}$

• By taking $9$ as denominator,

$=\frac{-6+8}{9}$

$=\frac{2}{9}$

Hence, the answer is $\frac{2}{9}$.
