(2/9) - (11) using LCM Method:
What is 2/9 minus 11 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/9
Fraction B: 11/1

What to be found?
(2/9) - (11) = ?
Find what's the difference between 2/9 and 11.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/9 and 11 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/9 and 11 are not equal, it is said to be unlike fractions subtraction.

step 3For unlike fractions subtraction, find the LCM (least common multiple) of both denominators of fractions 2/9 and 11:
The LCM of 9 and 1 is 9.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/9 and 11 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/9 - 11
= [(2 x 9)/(9 x 9)] - [(11 x 9)/(1 x 9)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 2/9 - 99/9

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/9 x (2/1 - 99/1)
= 1/9 x (2 - 99)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/9 x -97
= -97/9
2/9 - 11 = -97/9
