Solve 10(1/3)-(2)/(frac{1{3})}

$$\frac { 10 ( \frac { 1 } { 3 } ) - ( 2 ) } { ( \frac { 1 } { 3 } ) }$$

Evaluate

$$4$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 10 and \frac{1}{3} to get \frac{10}{3}.

$$\frac{\frac{10}{3}-2}{\frac{1}{3}}$$

Convert 2 to fraction \frac{6}{3}.

$$\frac{\frac{10}{3}-\frac{6}{3}}{\frac{1}{3}}$$

Since \frac{10}{3} and \frac{6}{3} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{\frac{10-6}{3}}{\frac{1}{3}}$$

Subtract 6 from 10 to get 4.

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

Divide \frac{4}{3} by \frac{1}{3} by multiplying \frac{4}{3} by the reciprocal of \frac{1}{3}.

$$\frac{4}{3}\times 3$$

Cancel out 3 and 3.

$$4$$

Factor

$$2^{2}$$
