Solve 21/6-14/6=

$$2 \frac { 1 } { 6 } - 1 \frac { 4 } { 6 } =$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{1}{2}=0.5$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 2 and 6 to get 12.

$$\frac{12+1}{6}-\frac{1\times 6+4}{6}$$

Add 12 and 1 to get 13.

$$\frac{13}{6}-\frac{1\times 6+4}{6}$$

Multiply 1 and 6 to get 6.

$$\frac{13}{6}-\frac{6+4}{6}$$

Add 6 and 4 to get 10.

$$\frac{13}{6}-\frac{10}{6}$$

Since \frac{13}{6} and \frac{10}{6} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{13-10}{6}$$

Subtract 10 from 13 to get 3.

$$\frac{3}{6}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{3}{6} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.

$$\frac{1}{2}$$

Factor

$$\frac{1}{2} = 0.5$$
