Question

What is the value of the expression (2/3 - 5/6) divided by 3/4?

Answer 1

`(2/3-5/6)div3/4`

Explanation:

We'll first sort out the first part by equalizing denominators:

`(2/3xx2/2)-5/6=4/6-5/6=-1/6`

Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its inverse:

`=-1/6xx4/3=-4/18=-(cancel2xx2)/(cancel2xx9)=-2/9`
