Step 1: notice that the points have the same y coordinate -3, and therefore are on the same horizontal line

Step 2: find the distance by finding the difference between the x coordinates

$$Distance=5\frac{1}{3}-(-1\frac{5}{9})$$

$$=5\frac{3}{9}+1\frac{5}{9}$$

$$=(5+1)+\frac{3+5}{9}$$

$$=6\frac{8}{9}$$
