Question

Find the difference 4 1/3 - 2 2/3

Answer 1

1 2/3

Explanation:

convert to improper fraction:

13/3 - 8/3

then solve:

13/3 - 8/3 = 5/3

convert back to a mixed number (unless your not supposed to, if that is the case then "5/3" is your answer):

"1 2/3" is "5/3" as a mixed number.

so your answer (as a mixed number) is:

"1 2/3"
