$$\frac { - 4 } { 3 } - \frac { - 3 } { 3 }$$

Evaluate

$$-\frac{1}{3}\approx -0.333333333$$

Solution Steps

Fraction \frac{-4}{3} can be rewritten as -\frac{4}{3} by extracting the negative sign.

$$-\frac{4}{3}-\frac{-3}{3}$$

Divide -3 by 3 to get -1.

$$-\frac{4}{3}-\left(-1\right)$$

The opposite of -1 is 1.

$$-\frac{4}{3}+1$$

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

$$-\frac{4}{3}+\frac{3}{3}$$

Since -\frac{4}{3} and \frac{3}{3} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{-4+3}{3}$$

Add -4 and 3 to get -1.

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