Answer 2

Answer:

$=>\frac{1}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression:

$\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{3}$

We have to solve and find the value of the above expression,

Now, we have to find the lowest common denominator first:

Therefore,

$=>\frac{1\times 3}{2\times 3}+\frac{-1\times 2}{3\times 2}$

Simplifying it further we get,

$=>\frac{3}{6}+\frac{-2}{6}$

Combining both the fractions, we get

$=>\frac{3+(-2)}{6}$

Add the terms in the brackets, we get

$=>\frac{1}{6}$

Hence, the value of the expression is $\frac{1}{6}.$
