Solve 1-2/3+3

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

Evaluate

$$\frac{10}{3}\approx 3.333333333$$

Solution Steps

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

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

Since \frac{3}{3} and \frac{2}{3} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

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

Subtract 2 from 3 to get 1.

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

Convert 3 to fraction \frac{9}{3}.

$$\frac{1}{3}+\frac{9}{3}$$

Since \frac{1}{3} and \frac{9}{3} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{1+9}{3}$$

Add 1 and 9 to get 10.

$$\frac{10}{3}$$

Factor

$$\frac{2 \cdot 5}{3} = 3\frac{1}{3} = 3.3333333333333335$$
