Solve 41/3-12/6=

$$4 \frac { 1 } { 3 } - 1 \frac { 2 } { 6 } =$$

Evaluate

$$3$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 4 and 3 to get 12.

$$\frac{12+1}{3}-\frac{1\times 6+2}{6}$$

Add 12 and 1 to get 13.

$$\frac{13}{3}-\frac{1\times 6+2}{6}$$

Multiply 1 and 6 to get 6.

$$\frac{13}{3}-\frac{6+2}{6}$$

Add 6 and 2 to get 8.

$$\frac{13}{3}-\frac{8}{6}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{8}{6} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$\frac{13}{3}-\frac{4}{3}$$

Since \frac{13}{3} and \frac{4}{3} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{13-4}{3}$$

Subtract 4 from 13 to get 9.

$$\frac{9}{3}$$

Divide 9 by 3 to get 3.

$$3$$

Factor

$$3$$
