Reduce the fraction \frac{400}{600} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 200.

$$\frac{2}{3}+1000-1$$

Convert 1000 to fraction \frac{3000}{3}.

$$\frac{2}{3}+\frac{3000}{3}-1$$

Since \frac{2}{3} and \frac{3000}{3} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{2+3000}{3}-1$$

Add 2 and 3000 to get 3002.

$$\frac{3002}{3}-1$$

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

$$\frac{3002}{3}-\frac{3}{3}$$

Since \frac{3002}{3} and \frac{3}{3} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{3002-3}{3}$$

Subtract 3 from 3002 to get 2999.

$$\frac{2999}{3}$$

Factor

$$\frac{2999}{3} = 999\frac{2}{3} = 999.6666666666666$$
