12 minus 4 divided by 3
You asked:
Evaluate the expression: \(12 - \frac{4}{3}\)
MathBot Answer:
\[ 12 - \frac{4}{3} = \frac{32}{3} = 10.\overline{6} \]
The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{12}{1}\) and \(\frac{-4}{3}\) is \(3\). \[ \begin{aligned} 12 - \frac{4}{3} &= \frac{12 \cdot 3}{1 \cdot 3} + \frac{-4 \cdot 1}{3 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{36 + -4}{3} \\ &= \frac{32}{3} \end{aligned} \]
