The answer to the problem is 2.
The image shows a word problem: Three less than one-fourth of the product of ten thirds and six.
To solve this problem, we can break it down step-by-step:
1. Find the product of ten thirds and six.
10/3 * 6 = 20
We can also write the problem as a mathematical expression:
\frac{1}{4}((10/3)(6)) - 3 = 2
This expression shows that we should first multiply ten thirds and six, then divide by four, and finally subtract three.
Here is a more detailed explanation of each step:
Multiplying ten thirds and six:This is a simple multiplication problem. We can multiply the numerators and the denominators separately.
(10/3) * 6 = (10 * 6) / (3 * 1) = 60 / 3 = 20
Dividing by four:This is also a simple arithmetic operation. We can divide the numerator and the denominator by four separately.
20 / 4 = 20 / 4 = 5
Subtracting three:This is also a simple arithmetic operation. We can subtract three from the numerator.
5 - 3 = 2
