Solve 24*1/24-1/2*2/3=

$$24 \times \frac { 1 } { 24 } - \frac { 1 } { 2 } \times \frac { 2 } { 3 } =$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{2}{3}\approx 0.666666667$$

Solution Steps

Cancel out 24 and 24.

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

Multiply \frac{1}{2} times \frac{2}{3} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.

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

Cancel out 2 in both numerator and denominator.

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

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

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

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

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

Subtract 1 from 3 to get 2.

$$\frac{2}{3}$$

Factor

$$\frac{2}{3} = 0.6666666666666666$$
