Solve 132/3-21/3

$$13 \frac { 2 } { 3 } - 2 \frac { 1 } { 3 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{34}{3}\approx 11.333333333$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 13 and 3 to get 39.

$$\frac{39+2}{3}-\frac{2\times 3+1}{3}$$

Add 39 and 2 to get 41.

$$\frac{41}{3}-\frac{2\times 3+1}{3}$$

Multiply 2 and 3 to get 6.

$$\frac{41}{3}-\frac{6+1}{3}$$

Add 6 and 1 to get 7.

$$\frac{41}{3}-\frac{7}{3}$$

Since \frac{41}{3} and \frac{7}{3} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{41-7}{3}$$

Subtract 7 from 41 to get 34.

$$\frac{34}{3}$$

Factor

$$\frac{2 \cdot 17}{3} = 11\frac{1}{3} = 11.333333333333334$$
