+1%2F2+%2B+%28+%282%2F3%29+%2F+%283%2F4%29+%29+-+%28+4%2F5+%2A+5%2F6+%29+
Take the last term first
+4%2F5+%2A+5%2F6+=+%285%2F5%29+%2A+%284%2F6%29+
+%285%2F5%29+%2A+%284%2F6%29+=+4%2F6+
So far I have
+1%2F2+%2B+%28+%282%2F3%29+%2F+%283%2F4%29+%29+-+4%2F6+
and
+3%2F6+%2B+%28+%282%2F3%29+%2F+%283%2F4%29+%29+-+4%2F6+
+%28+%282%2F3%29+%2F+%283%2F4%29+%29+-+1%2F6+
Multiply the top and bottom of the
first term by +4%2F3+
+%28+%282%2F3%29%2A%284%2F3%29+%29+%2F+%28+%283%2F4%29%2A%284%2F3%29+%29+
+%28+%283%2F3%29%2A%282%2F4%29+%29+%2F+%28+%283%2F3%29%2A%284%2F4%29+%29+
+%282%2F4%29+%2F+1+
+2%2F4+=+1%2F2+
So I have
+1%2F2+-+1%2F6+
+3%2F6+-+1%2F6+=+2%2F6+
+2%2F6+=+1%2F3+ answer
