Answer:

2/9 is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. First, make an equation.

Given:

8/9 = length of wire

2/3 = length of a part of the wire

E = 8/9-2/3

Unknown:

Second part of wire

2. Make the numbers have equal denominators

2/3 * 3/3

= 6/9

3. Solve

8/9 - 6/9

= 2/9

Hope this helped,

Kavitha
