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
There are four thirds in six-sixths. Since six-sixths is equivalent to one whole, and one whole can be divided into three equal parts (thirds), you can fit four thirds into the one whole represented by six-sixths.
5/6 - 2/3 = 1/6 or one sixth
Three-sixths minus two-sixths is one-sixth.
4 sixths, or two thirds.
To find out how many sixths are in 3 one-thirds, we need to first convert 3 one-thirds into sixths. Each third is equal to 2 sixths (since 1/3 = 2/6). So, 3 one-thirds is equal to 3 * 2 = 6 sixths. Therefore, there are 6 sixths in 3 one-thirds.
two-sixths or one-thirds in simplest form
5 minus 5 sixths is 4 and one sixth.
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.
