$$4 \frac { 5 } { 6 } - \frac { 1 } { 6 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{14}{3}\approx 4.666666667$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 4 and 6 to get 24.

$$\frac{24+5}{6}-\frac{1}{6}$$

Add 24 and 5 to get 29.

$$\frac{29}{6}-\frac{1}{6}$$

Since \frac{29}{6} and \frac{1}{6} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
