14 minus 2/3
You asked:
Evaluate the expression: \(14 - \frac{2}{3}\)
MathBot Answer:
\[ 14 - \frac{2}{3} = \frac{40}{3} = 13.\overline{3} \]
The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{14}{1}\) and \(\frac{-2}{3}\) is \(3\). \[ \begin{aligned} 14 - \frac{2}{3} &= \frac{14 \cdot 3}{1 \cdot 3} + \frac{-2 \cdot 1}{3 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{42 + -2}{3} \\ &= \frac{40}{3} \end{aligned} \]
