Question

How do you evaluate 20/6 - 2/3

Answer 1

Answer:

  8/3  or  2 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

We do sums and differences of fractions by giving them a common denominator, then finding the sum or difference of the numerators. Here, you can reduce the first fraction to 10/3, so it will have the same denominator as the second fraction.

Now, you have ...

$\dfrac{10}{3}-\dfrac{2}{3}=\dfrac{10-2}{3}=\dfrac{8}{3}\\\\=\dfrac{2\cdot 3+2}{3}=2\frac{2}{3}$

___

If you're really stumped, you can have your calculator do it.

Answer 2

The Answer is 2 and 2/3 = 2 2/3
