Solve 81/3-62/3=

$$8 \frac { 1 } { 3 } - 6 \frac { 2 } { 3 } =$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{5}{3}\approx 1.666666667$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 8 and 3 to get 24.

$$\frac{24+1}{3}-\frac{6\times 3+2}{3}$$

Add 24 and 1 to get 25.

$$\frac{25}{3}-\frac{6\times 3+2}{3}$$

Multiply 6 and 3 to get 18.

$$\frac{25}{3}-\frac{18+2}{3}$$

Add 18 and 2 to get 20.

$$\frac{25}{3}-\frac{20}{3}$$

Since \frac{25}{3} and \frac{20}{3} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{25-20}{3}$$

Subtract 20 from 25 to get 5.

$$\frac{5}{3}$$

Factor

$$\frac{5}{3} = 1\frac{2}{3} = 1.6666666666666667$$
