Solution
We want to simplify
[tex]\frac{8}{9}-\frac{1}{3}[/tex]Now
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{8}{9}-\frac{1}{3}=\frac{8}{9}-\frac{1\times3}{3\times3} \\ \frac{8}{9}-\frac{1}{3}=\frac{8}{9}-\frac{3}{9} \\ \frac{8}{9}-\frac{1}{3}=\frac{8-3}{9} \\ \frac{8}{9}-\frac{1}{3}=\frac{5}{9} \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the answer is
[tex]\frac{5}{9}[/tex]
