8-4/9

Let's clarify the expression: 8 - 4/9. To solve this, follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS): 1. Divide 4 by 9: \[ 4/9 \approx 0.4444 \] 2. Subtract this result from 8: \[ 8 - 0.4444 \approx 7.5556 \] **Result:** \[ 8 - \frac{4}{9} \approx 7.\overline{5} \] **Alternatively, as a mixed number:** \[ 8 - \frac{4}{9} = \frac{72}{9} - \frac{4}{9} = \frac{68}{9} \] which can be written as: \[ 7 \frac{5}{9} \] **Final answer:** \(\boxed{\frac{68}{9}}\) or approximately 7.56.
