Math Problem Statement

Evaluate the following

Solution

Let's solve the expression step by step. The expression given is:

[(5613)÷13×13]÷(23)\left[ \left(\frac{5}{6} - \frac{1}{3}\right) \div \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{1}{3} \right] \div \left(-\frac{2}{3}\right)

Step 1: Simplify Inside the Brackets

First, we need to handle the subtraction inside the brackets:

5613\frac{5}{6} - \frac{1}{3}

To subtract these fractions, convert them to have a common denominator. The least common denominator (LCD) of 6 and 3 is 6.

13=26\frac{1}{3} = \frac{2}{6}

So,

5626=36=12\frac{5}{6} - \frac{2}{6} = \frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2}

Step 2: Division Inside the Brackets

Next, we divide 12\frac{1}{2} by 13\frac{1}{3}:

12÷13=12×31=32\frac{1}{2} \div \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{3}{1} = \frac{3}{2}

Step 3: Multiplication Inside the Brackets

Now, multiply the result by 13\frac{1}{3}:

32×13=3×12×3=36=12\frac{3}{2} \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{3 \times 1}{2 \times 3} = \frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2}

Step 4: Division Outside the Brackets

Finally, divide the result by 23-\frac{2}{3}:

12÷23=12×32=34\frac{1}{2} \div -\frac{2}{3} = \frac{1}{2} \times -\frac{3}{2} = -\frac{3}{4}

Final Answer

The final answer is:

34-\frac{3}{4}
