Solve {r}{51/3}{-22/3}

$$\left. \begin{array} { r } { 5 \frac { 1 } { 3 } } \\ { - 2 \frac { 2 } { 3 } } \end{array} \right.$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{8}{3}\approx 2.666666667$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 5 and 3 to get 15.

$$\frac{15+1}{3}-\frac{2\times 3+2}{3}$$

Add 15 and 1 to get 16.

$$\frac{16}{3}-\frac{2\times 3+2}{3}$$

Multiply 2 and 3 to get 6.

$$\frac{16}{3}-\frac{6+2}{3}$$

Add 6 and 2 to get 8.

$$\frac{16}{3}-\frac{8}{3}$$

Since \frac{16}{3} and \frac{8}{3} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{16-8}{3}$$

Subtract 8 from 16 to get 8.

$$\frac{8}{3}$$

Factor

$$\frac{2 ^ {3}}{3} = 2\frac{2}{3} = 2.6666666666666665$$
