Full solution

Q. What should be subtracted from 6811568\frac{1}{15} to get 561956\frac{1}{9} ?
  1. Convert to Improper Fractions: Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions for easier calculation. \newline68(115)=(68×15+1)/15=10211568\left(\frac{1}{15}\right) = \left(68 \times 15 + 1\right)/15 = \frac{1021}{15},\newline56(19)=(56×9+1)/9=505956\left(\frac{1}{9}\right) = \left(56 \times 9 + 1\right)/9 = \frac{505}{9},
  2. Subtract Fractions: Subtract the second fraction from the first to find the difference.\newlineSubtraction: (1021/15)(505/9)(1021/15) - (505/9),\newlineTo subtract, find a common denominator, which is 4545 here.\newlineConvert: 1021/15=(1021×3)/(15×3)=3063/451021/15 = (1021 \times 3)/(15 \times 3) = 3063/45,\newline505/9=(505×5)/(9×5)=2525/45505/9 = (505 \times 5)/(9 \times 5) = 2525/45,\newlineNow subtract: 3063/452525/45=538/453063/45 - 2525/45 = 538/45,
  3. Convert to Mixed Number: Convert the result back to a mixed number to answer the question. 53845=11\frac{538}{45} = 11 remainder 4343, so it's 11(4345)11\left(\frac{43}{45}\right),
