Solve 2/3+2-3/3

$$\frac { 2 } { 3 } + 2 - \frac { 3 } { 3 }$$

Evaluate

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

Solution Steps

Divide 3 by 3 to get 1.

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

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

$$\frac{2}{3}+\frac{6}{3}-1$$

Since \frac{2}{3} and \frac{6}{3} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{2+6}{3}-1$$

Add 2 and 6 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

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