Question.  10

On subtracting \(\tfrac{5}{9}\) from \(\tfrac{19}{9}\), the result is

(A)

\(\tfrac{24}{9}\)

(B)

\(\tfrac{14}{9}\)

(C)

\(\tfrac{14}{18}\)

(D)

\(\tfrac{14}{0}\)

Detailed Answer with Explanation:

We subtract two fractions with the same denominator.

  1. Write the problem in fraction form:

    (dfrac{19}{9} - dfrac{5}{9})

  2. Since denominators are the same ((9)), subtract only the numerators:

    (19 - 5 = 14)

  3. Keep the denominator as (9):

    (dfrac{14}{9})

  4. So, (dfrac{19}{9} - dfrac{5}{9} = dfrac{14}{9}).

  5. Correct option: B.
