5/3-1
You asked:
Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{5}{3} - 1\)
MathBot Answer:
\[ \frac{5}{3} - 1 = \frac{2}{3} = 0.\overline{6} \]
The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{5}{3}\) and \(\frac{-1}{1}\) is \(3\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{5}{3} - 1 &= \frac{5 \cdot 1}{3 \cdot 1} + \frac{-1 \cdot 3}{1 \cdot 3} \\ &= \frac{5 + -3}{3} \\ &= \frac{2}{3} \end{aligned} \]
