Question

Can someone explain how you do this and not only give me a answer?

Answer 1

Got it! Here you go!

Explanation:

It seems you already know that you need to do 17-2/3(not two thirds, just over 3.)

The horizontal line means divide, so you will be dividing by 3. First, though,, you do...

17-2(which is 15)

and then divide it by 3.

15/3=5

Your answer is 5.

I hope I helped! Have a great day.

Answer 2

You plug in 2 for the w and do 17 minus 2 and then you divide that by 3 so ur answer is going to be 17-2 which is 15 and then divide 15 by 3 and you get 5
