Answer 1

Hi
Nice question

Question:-
2/3 - 1/3 × 5/2

Solution:-

By applying BODMAS rule

$= \frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{5}{2} \\ \\ = \frac{2}{3} - \frac{5}{6} \\ \\ = \frac{2 \times 2 - 5 \times 1}{6} \\ \\ = \frac{4 - 5}{6} \\ \\ = \frac{ - 1}{6}$


Hope this helps you.

Answer 2

2/3-1/3×5/2=
According to BODMAS, We will do multiplication first..
So, 2/3(-1/3×5/2)=2/3-5/6
2/3-5/6=
LCM of 3 and 6 =6
So 2/3×2/2=4/6
-5/6×1/1=-5/6
So, (4-5)/6= - 1/6
Ans =_1/6

Hope it helps
