Solve 19/3-4/2-8/3

$$\frac { 19 } { 3 } - \frac { 4 } { 2 } - \frac { 8 } { 3 }$$

Evaluate

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

Solution Steps

Divide 4 by 2 to get 2.

$$\frac{19}{3}-2-\frac{8}{3}$$

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

$$\frac{19}{3}-\frac{6}{3}-\frac{8}{3}$$

Since \frac{19}{3} and \frac{6}{3} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{19-6}{3}-\frac{8}{3}$$

Subtract 6 from 19 to get 13.

$$\frac{13}{3}-\frac{8}{3}$$

Since \frac{13}{3} and \frac{8}{3} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{13-8}{3}$$

Subtract 8 from 13 to get 5.

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

Factor

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