Here we will show you how to calculate "what" in this sentence: "What minus 4/6 equals 1/9?" We start by making this word problem into an algebraic equation where "what" is the variable "x".

x - 4/6 = 1/9

To solve this equation, we want x alone on the left side of the equation so we start by adding 4/6 on both sides like this:

x - 4/6 + 4/6 = 1/9 + 4/6

x - 4/6 + 4/6 leaves x and 1/9 + 4/6 is 7/9 which means we end up with x = 7/9. Therefore, the answer to "What minus 4/6 equals 1/9?" is as follows:
