Six thirds is two. Two minus one half is one and a half. 2 - 0.5 - 1.5
5/3 minus 1/2 is 1 1/6
2 minus one third is 1 and two thirds.
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.
or 5 and one third
2/3 - 1/2 = ?To do this problem we have to find a least common denominator. 2x3 = 6, so 6 will be the best common denominator.4/6 - 3/6 = 1/6. That's the answer.2/3 minus 1/2 = 1/6
6 minus 3 and two thirds = 2 and one third.
2/3 minus 1/6 is 1/2
2 and 1 half!
There are 1 and 1/2 thirds in one half
2 and 1/3
