Solve 1+1/3-2

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

Evaluate

$$-\frac{2}{3}\approx -0.666666667$$

Solution Steps

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

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

Since \frac{3}{3} and \frac{1}{3} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

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

Add 3 and 1 to get 4.

$$\frac{4}{3}-2$$

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

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

Since \frac{4}{3} and \frac{6}{3} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

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

Subtract 6 from 4 to get -2.

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

Factor

$$-\frac{2}{3} = -0.6666666666666666$$
