Math Problem Statement
Solve: 7/3-5/6-2/3
Solution
We will simplify the expression step by step:
Step 1: Find a common denominator
The denominators are 3 and 6. The least common denominator (LCD) is 6. We will convert all fractions to have a denominator of 6:
- becomes
- stays as
- becomes
Now the expression is:
Step 2: Perform the subtraction
Combine the fractions:
Then:
