Solve 8-21/3-21/3=

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

Evaluate

$$\frac{10}{3}\approx 3.333333333$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 2 and 3 to get 6.

$$8-\frac{6+1}{3}-\frac{2\times 3+1}{3}$$

Add 6 and 1 to get 7.

$$8-\frac{7}{3}-\frac{2\times 3+1}{3}$$

Convert 8 to fraction \frac{24}{3}.

$$\frac{24}{3}-\frac{7}{3}-\frac{2\times 3+1}{3}$$

Since \frac{24}{3} and \frac{7}{3} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{24-7}{3}-\frac{2\times 3+1}{3}$$

Subtract 7 from 24 to get 17.

$$\frac{17}{3}-\frac{2\times 3+1}{3}$$

Multiply 2 and 3 to get 6.

$$\frac{17}{3}-\frac{6+1}{3}$$

Add 6 and 1 to get 7.

$$\frac{17}{3}-\frac{7}{3}$$

Since \frac{17}{3} and \frac{7}{3} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{17-7}{3}$$

Subtract 7 from 17 to get 10.

$$\frac{10}{3}$$

Factor

$$\frac{2 \cdot 5}{3} = 3\frac{1}{3} = 3.3333333333333335$$
