2[3 (1/3)] - 4 (5/6) = ?
First, we must multiply the 2 to 3 (1/3). The product is 6 (2/3) since 2*3 is equal to 6 and (2/1)*(2/3) is equal to (2/3). Please note that (2/1) is the same as 2, as it was converted to a fraction form for better understandings.
6 (2/3) - 4 (5/6) = ?
Next, we must convert (2/3) to a fraction with a denominator of 6.
(2/3) --> (4/6)
6 (4/6) - 4 (5/6) = ?
Third, we must subtract the two fractions in order to reach a solution to this question. Since we are unable to subtract (5/6) from (4/6), we must carry over a 1 from the 6. The 6 is changed to a 5 and the 1 is added the the fraction, making it an improper fraction of (10/6).
6 (4/6) --> 5 (10/6)
5 (10/6) - 4 (5/6) = ?
Now, we are finally able to subtract.
5 (10/6) - 4 (5/6) = ?
5 (10/6) - 4 (5/6) = 1 (5/6)
With all this work shown, the final solution to this problem is: 1 (5/6) or, one and five-sixths
