1/3-1/6
You asked:
Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{1}{3} - \frac{1}{6}\)
MathBot Answer:
\[ \frac{1}{3} - \frac{1}{6} = \frac{1}{6} = 0.1\overline{6} \]
The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{1}{3}\) and \(\frac{-1}{6}\) is \(6\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{1}{3} - \frac{1}{6} &= \frac{1 \cdot 2}{3 \cdot 2} + \frac{-1 \cdot 1}{6 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{2 + -1}{6} \\ &= \frac{1}{6} \end{aligned} \]
