Solve -6*1/3+5*2/3

$$-6 \times \frac{ 1 }{ 3 } +5 \times \frac{ 2 }{ 3 }$$

Evaluate

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

Solution Steps

Multiply -6 and \frac{1}{3} to get \frac{-6}{3}.

$$\frac{-6}{3}+5\times \frac{2}{3}$$

Divide -6 by 3 to get -2.

$$-2+5\times \frac{2}{3}$$

Express 5\times \frac{2}{3} as a single fraction.

$$-2+\frac{5\times 2}{3}$$

Multiply 5 and 2 to get 10.

$$-2+\frac{10}{3}$$

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

$$-\frac{6}{3}+\frac{10}{3}$$

Since -\frac{6}{3} and \frac{10}{3} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{-6+10}{3}$$

Add -6 and 10 to get 4.

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

Factor

$$\frac{2 ^ {2}}{3} = 1\frac{1}{3} = 1.3333333333333333$$
