2/3 minus 1/4 minus 1/3
You asked:
Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{3}\)
MathBot Answer:
\[ \frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1}{12} = 0.08\overline{3} \]
The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{2}{3}\), \(\frac{-1}{4}\), and \(\frac{-1}{3}\) is \(12\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{3} &= \frac{2 \cdot 4}{3 \cdot 4} + \frac{-1 \cdot 3}{4 \cdot 3} + \frac{-1 \cdot 4}{3 \cdot 4} \\ &= \frac{8 + -3 + -4}{12} \\ &= \frac{1}{12} \end{aligned} \]
