negative 1 over 3
No, 2 over 1 is 2 and 3 over 1 is 3, so 3 is bigger than 2.
So your equation is 3/x + 1/2 = 1/3 right? First, you have to subtract 1/2 from both sides. 1/3 and 1/2 have to have the same denominator to be added or subtracted, so 1/3 becomes 2/6 and 1/2 becomes 3/6. 2/6 - 3/6 = -1/6 . Now you have 3/x = -1/6. Cross multiply and you get 18 = -x. Therefore, x = -18. Hope that helps

1 over 3 subtracted from 2 over 3 would yield 1 over 3.
(1/3) x (2/2) x (3/6) = 1/6
1 over 2 is = 1/2 which is 50% 2 over 3 is = 2/3 which is 66.6<- repeating bar % 2/3 is greater.
3 1/2 x 3 1/2 is 12 1/4
"1 over 3" is less than "2 over 3". "1 over 3" is really 1/3 or about 0.33 "2 over 3" is really 2/3 or about 0.67 So, "1 over 3" is less than "2 over 3". 1/3 < 2/3 0.33 < 0.67 Think about it like this: You have three apples. You give one apple to one friend and you give two to another friend. Which friend has more apples? Friend 1 has 1 out of 3 apples. 1 out of 3 apples = "1 over 3" = 1/3 = 0.33 Friend 2 has 2 out of 3 apples. 2 out of 3 apples = "2 over 3" = 2/3 = 0.67
