1. Problem Description

We are asked to evaluate the following expression:
1411111+19111511-1\frac{4}{11} - \frac{1}{11} + 1\frac{9}{11} - 1\frac{5}{11}.

2. Solution Steps

First, convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions.
abc=ac+bca \frac{b}{c} = \frac{ac+b}{c}
1411=11(1)+411=1511-1\frac{4}{11} = -\frac{11(1)+4}{11} = -\frac{15}{11}
1911=11(1)+911=20111\frac{9}{11} = \frac{11(1)+9}{11} = \frac{20}{11}
1511=11(1)+511=16111\frac{5}{11} = \frac{11(1)+5}{11} = \frac{16}{11}
Now, substitute these into the expression:
1511111+20111611-\frac{15}{11} - \frac{1}{11} + \frac{20}{11} - \frac{16}{11}
Combine the numerators, keeping the common denominator:
151+201611=16+201611=41611=1211\frac{-15 - 1 + 20 - 16}{11} = \frac{-16 + 20 - 16}{11} = \frac{4-16}{11} = \frac{-12}{11}
Convert back to mixed number:
1211=1111-\frac{12}{11} = -1\frac{1}{11}

3. Final Answer

1111-1\frac{1}{11}
