Solve 1/3-4+10/3

$$1 / 3 - 4 + 10 / 3$$

Evaluate

$$-\frac{1}{3}\approx -0.333333333$$

Solution Steps

Convert 4 to fraction \frac{12}{3}.

$$\frac{1}{3}-\frac{12}{3}+\frac{10}{3}$$

Since \frac{1}{3} and \frac{12}{3} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{1-12}{3}+\frac{10}{3}$$

Subtract 12 from 1 to get -11.

$$-\frac{11}{3}+\frac{10}{3}$$

Since -\frac{11}{3} and \frac{10}{3} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{-11+10}{3}$$

Add -11 and 10 to get -1.

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

Factor

$$-\frac{1}{3} = -0.3333333333333333$$
