To find the value of the expression, we need to subtract 1 1/3 from -6 4/9.

First, we find a common denominator for 9 and 3, which is 9.

-6 4/9 can be rewritten as -6 8/18.
-1 1/3 can be rewritten as -1 6/18.

Now, we can subtract the fractions:
-6 8/18 - (-1 6/18) = -6 8/18 + 1 6/18

To add these fractions, we need to find a common denominator, which is 18.

-6 8/18 + 1 6/18 = -6 + 1 + 8/18 + 6/18
= -5 + 14/18

Now, we simplify the fraction:
14/18 can be reduced to 7/9.

Therefore, the value of the expression -6 4/9 - 1 1/3 is -5 7/9.

To find the value of the expression −6 4/9 − 1 1/3, we need to subtract the two mixed numbers.

Step 1: Convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions.
−6 4/9 can be written as -(6 * 9 + 4)/9 = -(54 + 4)/9 = -58/9
1 1/3 can be written as (1 * 3 + 1)/3 = (3 + 1)/3 = 4/3

Step 2: Subtract the fractions.
-58/9 - 4/3 can be done by finding a common denominator, which is 9 * 3 = 27.
Multiply the numerators by the appropriate factors to get the same denominator:
(-58 * 3)/(9 * 3) - (4 * 9)/(3 * 9) = -174/27 - 36/27

Step 3: Combine the fractions.
-174/27 - 36/27 = (-174 - 36)/27 = -210/27

Step 4: Simplify the result, if needed.
The fraction -210/27 can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 3.
-210/27 ÷ 3/3 = -70/9

Therefore, the value of the expression −6 4/9 − 1 1/3 is -70/9.
