Solve 32/6-24/6

$$3 \frac { 2 } { 6 } - 2 \frac { 4 } { 6 }$$

Evaluate

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

Solution Steps

Multiply 3 and 6 to get 18.

$$\frac{18+2}{6}-\frac{2\times 6+4}{6}$$

Add 18 and 2 to get 20.

$$\frac{20}{6}-\frac{2\times 6+4}{6}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{20}{6} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$\frac{10}{3}-\frac{2\times 6+4}{6}$$

Multiply 2 and 6 to get 12.

$$\frac{10}{3}-\frac{12+4}{6}$$

Add 12 and 4 to get 16.

$$\frac{10}{3}-\frac{16}{6}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{16}{6} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

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

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

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