Solve 4-1/1-frac{1{2}}

$$\frac { 4 - 1 } { 1 - \frac { 1 } { 2 } }$$

Evaluate

$$6$$

Solution Steps

Subtract 1 from 4 to get 3.

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

Convert 1 to fraction \frac{2}{2}.

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

Since \frac{2}{2} and \frac{1}{2} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

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

Subtract 1 from 2 to get 1.

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

Divide 3 by \frac{1}{2} by multiplying 3 by the reciprocal of \frac{1}{2}.

$$3\times 2$$

Multiply 3 and 2 to get 6.

$$6$$

Factor

$$2\times 3$$
