Answer:

Below.

Explanation:

Complete the multiplication and the equation becomes

4/6−3/6=?

The two fractions now have like denominators so you can subtract the numerators.

Then:

4−3/6=1/6

This fraction cannot be reduced.

Therefore:

2/3−1/2=16

Solution by Formulas

Apply the fractions formula for subtraction, to

2/3−1/2

and solve

(2×2)−(1×3)3×2

=4−3/6

=1/6

Therefore:

2/3−1/2=1/6
