See explanation

$2 1/3+w=4 2/9$

$w=4 2/9-2 1/3$

$w=38/9-7/3$

$w=38/9-21/9$

$w=17/9$

$w= 1 8/9$

$1 8/9$

$2 1/3+w = 4 2/9" "larr$ isolate the $w$ by subtracting $2 1/3$

$w = 4 2/9 -2 1/3$

You can work with the whole numbers and the fractions separately.

$w = 2 (2-3)/9" "larr$ convert a whole number to $9/9$

$w = 1 (9+2-3)/9$

$w = 1 8/9$
