two thirds
2/3 minus 1/6 is 1/2
you changed the 1 into a fraction, so 1 turns into 3 thirds. then you can easily subtract from 1 thirds. Then the answer would be 2/3. Your Welcome! :)
2/3 - 1/4 = 8/12 - 3/12 = 5/12
2/3 is the answer. 3 1/3= 10/3 Then you subtract 8/3 from 10/3 and get 2/3.

= 1/2 - 1/3 = 1/6
2/3 = 6/9 6 - 7 = -1/9

To subtract two fractions, they must have a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 9. So, convert 2/3 to 6/9. Then, subtract 6/9 - 4/9 to get 2/9 as the result.
The answer is 2/3 minus 2/9 = 4/9
2/3 - 1/4 = 8/12 - 3/12 = 5/12
2/3 is the answer. 3 1/3= 10/3 Then you subtract 8/3 from 10/3 and get 2/3.
You need to do two changes before you can do the actual subtraction. One, since 2/3 is more than 1/2, you have to write 11 1/2 as 10 3/2. That is, you add 2/2 to the fractional part, and, to compensate, you subtract the equivalent (2/2 = 1) from the integer part. Two, you have to convert the fractions to a common denominator. Once you have done these two changes, you can easily subtract. (Subtract the integer part and the fractional part separately.)
