Please retype this fraction. If by "---" you mean "subtraction," type 3/7-1/3.

Let's assume that the problem is as follows: (3/7-1/3)(2/3)-1/7;
first, find the LCD of 3/7 and 1/3 and then combine 3/7 and -1/3).
second, multiply your result by (2/3).
third, subtract 1/7 from your result.

If, however, your "---" and "-----" mean "division, then the above is all wrong.

If that's the case, then please retype your whole question.

You could express "the quotient of 2/3 and 1/6" as follows:

2
----
3

------------------------
1
-----
6

Is that what you meant?

Sorry to be picky, but it's very important that you express math properly.
