$1 \frac{4}{9}$ $1 4/9$

Explanation:

First, find out what $\frac{2}{3}$ $2/3$ of $4 \frac{1}{3}$ $4 1/3$ is.

$\frac{2}{3} \times 4 \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{13}{3} = \frac{26}{9} = 2 \frac{8}{9}$ $2/3xx4 1/3=2/3xx13/3=26/9=2 8/9$

Next, find the difference.

$4 \frac{1}{3} - 2 \frac{8}{9} = 4 \frac{3}{9} - 2 \frac{8}{9} = 1 \frac{4}{9}$ $4 1/3-2 8/9=4 3/9-2 8/9=1 4/9$

$1 \frac{4}{9}$ $1 4/9$

Explanation:

Let's first work this through with an easier set of numbers.

Let's say that there is a series of books you are reading. There are 3 books in the set. You have $\frac{2}{3}$ $2/3$ already - how many more books do we need to get to 3 books?

We can do this a few ways, but I'll point out that if we already have $\frac{2}{3}$ $2/3$ of the books, we need the other $\frac{1}{3}$ $1/3$ . With our books, that's:

$3 \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{3}{3} = 1$ $3xx1/3=3/3=1$ book more.

And so now to the question - we want $4 \frac{1}{3}$ $4 1/3$ in total and we already have $\frac{2}{3}$ $2/3$ of that. So we need the other $\frac{1}{3}$ $1/3$ . We can calculate it this way (I'll convert the mixed number to an improper fraction first):

$4 \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{13}{3} \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{13}{9} = 1 \frac{4}{9}$ $4 1/3 xx 1/3=13/3xx1/3=13/9=1 4/9$

So we already have $2 \frac{8}{9}$ $2 8/9$ and once we have the other $1 \frac{4}{9}$ $1 4/9$ , we'll indeed have:

$2 \frac{8}{9} + 1 \frac{4}{9} = 3 \frac{12}{9} = 4 \frac{3}{9} = 4 \frac{1}{3}$ $2 8/9+ 1 4/9=3 12/9=4 3/9=4 1/3$
