Solve 31/3-22/3=

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

Evaluate

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

Solution Steps

Multiply 3 and 3 to get 9.

$$\frac{9+1}{3}-\frac{2\times 3+2}{3}$$

Add 9 and 1 to get 10.

$$\frac{10}{3}-\frac{2\times 3+2}{3}$$

Multiply 2 and 3 to get 6.

$$\frac{10}{3}-\frac{6+2}{3}$$

Add 6 and 2 to get 8.

$$\frac{10}{3}-\frac{8}{3}$$

Since \frac{10}{3} and \frac{8}{3} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{10-8}{3}$$

Subtract 8 from 10 to get 2.

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

Factor

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