Solve 61/6-45/6=

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

Evaluate

$$\frac{4}{3}\approx 1.333333333$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 6 and 6 to get 36.

$$\frac{36+1}{6}-\frac{4\times 6+5}{6}$$

Add 36 and 1 to get 37.

$$\frac{37}{6}-\frac{4\times 6+5}{6}$$

Multiply 4 and 6 to get 24.

$$\frac{37}{6}-\frac{24+5}{6}$$

Add 24 and 5 to get 29.

$$\frac{37}{6}-\frac{29}{6}$$

Since \frac{37}{6} and \frac{29}{6} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{37-29}{6}$$

Subtract 29 from 37 to get 8.

$$\frac{8}{6}$$

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

$$\frac{4}{3}$$

Factor

$$\frac{2 ^ {2}}{3} = 1\frac{1}{3} = 1.3333333333333333$$
