1. Problem Description

The problem requires us to evaluate the expression 4912959+249\frac{4}{9} - 1\frac{2}{9} - \frac{5}{9} + 2\frac{4}{9}.

2. Solution Steps

First, convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions:
129=1×9+29=9+29=1191\frac{2}{9} = \frac{1 \times 9 + 2}{9} = \frac{9+2}{9} = \frac{11}{9}
249=2×9+49=18+49=2292\frac{4}{9} = \frac{2 \times 9 + 4}{9} = \frac{18+4}{9} = \frac{22}{9}
Now, substitute these improper fractions into the expression:
4911959+229\frac{4}{9} - \frac{11}{9} - \frac{5}{9} + \frac{22}{9}
Since all fractions have the same denominator, we can combine the numerators:
4115+229\frac{4 - 11 - 5 + 22}{9}
Now, perform the arithmetic operations in the numerator:
4115+229=75+229=12+229=109\frac{4 - 11 - 5 + 22}{9} = \frac{-7 - 5 + 22}{9} = \frac{-12 + 22}{9} = \frac{10}{9}
Now we convert the improper fraction back to a mixed number:
109=119\frac{10}{9} = 1\frac{1}{9}

3. Final Answer

1191\frac{1}{9}
