45000 - 1/3 - 2/6
You asked:
Evaluate the expression: \(45000 - \frac{1}{3} - \frac{2}{6}\)
MathBot Answer:
\[ 45000 - \frac{1}{3} - \frac{2}{6} = \frac{134998}{3} = 44999.\overline{3} \]
The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{45000}{1}\), \(\frac{-1}{3}\), and \(\frac{-2}{6}\) is \(6\). \[ \begin{aligned} 45000 - \frac{1}{3} - \frac{2}{6} &= \frac{45000 \cdot 6}{1 \cdot 6} + \frac{-1 \cdot 2}{3 \cdot 2} + \frac{-2 \cdot 1}{6 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{270000 + -2 + -2}{6} \\ &= \frac{269996}{6} \\&= \frac{134998}{3} \end{aligned} \]
