Solve (3/4)*(2-1/3)

$$( \frac { 3 } { 4 } ) \cdot ( 2 - \frac { 1 } { 3 } )$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{5}{4}=1.25$$

Solution Steps

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

$$\frac{3}{4}\left(\frac{6}{3}-\frac{1}{3}\right)$$

Since \frac{6}{3} and \frac{1}{3} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{3}{4}\times \frac{6-1}{3}$$

Subtract 1 from 6 to get 5.

$$\frac{3}{4}\times \frac{5}{3}$$

Multiply \frac{3}{4} times \frac{5}{3} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.

$$\frac{3\times 5}{4\times 3}$$

Cancel out 3 in both numerator and denominator.

$$\frac{5}{4}$$

Factor

$$\frac{5}{2 ^ {2}} = 1\frac{1}{4} = 1.25$$
