Solve -1/3-1+8=

$$- \frac{ 1 }{ 3 } -1+8=$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{20}{3}\approx 6.666666667$$

Solution Steps

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

$$-\frac{1}{3}-\frac{3}{3}+8$$

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

$$\frac{-1-3}{3}+8$$

Subtract 3 from -1 to get -4.

$$-\frac{4}{3}+8$$

Convert 8 to fraction \frac{24}{3}.

$$-\frac{4}{3}+\frac{24}{3}$$

Since -\frac{4}{3} and \frac{24}{3} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{-4+24}{3}$$

Add -4 and 24 to get 20.

$$\frac{20}{3}$$

Factor

$$\frac{2 ^ {2} \cdot 5}{3} = 6\frac{2}{3} = 6.666666666666667$$
