15 7/18-3/9 the answer is 9 11/24 i am some how not getting the right answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Something must be wrong in the way the problem is stated... is it 15 and 7/18 minus 3/9?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3/9 *2/2 = 6/18 so subtracting 3/9 is the same as subtracting 6/18

OpenStudy (anonymous):

...which would leave 15 and 1/18

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i tried to fallow the example and its barrowing from whole numburs is what is says above that example

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes
