Solve [7/3+1/3-1]

$$[ \frac { 7 } { 3 } + \frac { 1 } { 3 } - 1 ]$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{5}{3}\approx 1.666666667$$

Solution Steps

Since \frac{7}{3} and \frac{1}{3} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{7+1}{3}-1$$

Add 7 and 1 to get 8.

$$\frac{8}{3}-1$$

Convert 1 to fraction \frac{3}{3}.

$$\frac{8}{3}-\frac{3}{3}$$

Since \frac{8}{3} and \frac{3}{3} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{8-3}{3}$$

Subtract 3 from 8 to get 5.

$$\frac{5}{3}$$

Factor

$$\frac{5}{3} = 1\frac{2}{3} = 1.6666666666666667$$
