No they are incorrect.  Do you want to show the steps you took for the first one.  You get the correct way to do one you can do the rest.

jazzyluvsu123 · Answer

yes i think this is how you did it 
11 9/9 - 3 2/9 = 8 7/9 right

ranga · Answer

12 can be written as: 11 + 9/9
3&2/9 = 3 + 2/9

12 - 3&2/9 = (11 + 9/9) - (3 + 2/9)
                   = 11 + 9/9 - 3 - 2/9
                   = 11 - 3 + 9/9 - 2/9
                   = 8 +(9 - 2) / 9
                   = 8 + 7/9
                   = 8&7/9
