Solve 1/3-2/3-3/3

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

Evaluate

$$-\frac{4}{3}\approx -1.333333333$$

Solution Steps

Divide 3 by 3 to get 1.

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

Since \frac{1}{3} and \frac{2}{3} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

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

Subtract 2 from 1 to get -1.

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

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

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

Since -\frac{1}{3} and \frac{3}{3} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

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

Subtract 3 from -1 to get -4.

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

Factor

$$-\frac{4}{3} = -1\frac{1}{3} = -1.3333333333333333$$
