2/3 minus 1/6 is the same as 4/6 minus 1/6 = 3/6 or 1/2 simplified
You have to convert your fractions so that they are all the same. In this case, we can use sixths. So two and three sixths (two and a half), minus one and four sixths (one and two thirds), would equal five sixths. Another way to do it is to convert the whole numbers to sixths as well. Fifteen sixths minus ten sixths equals five sixths.
2/3 can be converted to 4/6. So 4/6 - 1/6= 3/6 or 1/2
1/6 (one sixth)
2/3 minus 1/6 is 1/2
Three-sixths minus two-sixths is one-sixth.
5/6 - 2/3 = 1/6 or one sixth
4 sixths, or two thirds.
two-sixths or one-thirds in simplest form
Oh, dude, let me break it down for you. So, 3 one thirds is basically 3/3, which simplifies to 1 whole. And since there are 6 sixths in a whole, that means there are 6 sixths in 3 one thirds. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.
5 minus 5 sixths is 4 and one sixth.
One minus two thirds is one third.
Oneand one sixth is six sixths (one in total) plus one sixth - or seven sixths. So seven sixths minus 5 sixths is 2 sixths which can also be expressed as one third.
