Solve 2+1/3-1/2=

$$2 + 1 / 3 - 1 / 2 =$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{11}{6}\approx 1.833333333$$

Solution Steps

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

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

Since \frac{6}{3} and \frac{1}{3} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

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

Add 6 and 1 to get 7.

$$\frac{7}{3}-\frac{1}{2}$$

Least common multiple of 3 and 2 is 6. Convert \frac{7}{3} and \frac{1}{2} to fractions with denominator 6.

$$\frac{14}{6}-\frac{3}{6}$$

Since \frac{14}{6} and \frac{3}{6} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{14-3}{6}$$

Subtract 3 from 14 to get 11.

$$\frac{11}{6}$$

Factor

$$\frac{11}{2 \cdot 3} = 1\frac{5}{6} = 1.8333333333333333$$
