Answer 1

Given:

$4\frac{1}{3} - 1\frac{2}{3}$

To find:

We need to find the solution for $4\frac{1}{3} - 1\frac{2}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

• Here we need to find the solution for $4\frac{1}{3} - 1\frac{2}{3}$
• It is a mixed fraction. we can obtain this rule by multiplying the denominator by the number and adding the numerator to the resulting number.

SOLUTION:

$4*3 = 12 = 12+1 = 13\\\\\frac{13}{3}$

Similarly, we can do this for the second term

$1*3 =3 = 3+ 2 =6\\\\=\frac{6}{3}$

Now solving the two fractions

$\frac{13}{3} - \frac{6}{3}\\\\= \frac{13-6}{3}\\\\= \frac{7}{3}$

Hence the solution is $\frac{7}{3}$

Answer 2

Answer:

=> $\frac{7}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given fraction:-

$4\frac{1}{3} -1\frac{2}{3}$

To find:-

The value of $4\frac{1}{3} -1\frac{2}{3}$,

As the given fraction is in the mixed form:

So, we have to convert it into an improper fraction:

$=> 4\frac{1}{3}=\frac{12}{3}$

$=> 1\frac{2}{3}=\frac{5}{3}$

So, it is written as:

$=> \frac{12}{3}-\frac{5}{3}$

Combining the fractions:

$=>\frac{12-5}{3}$

Subtract the terms in the numerator, we get

$=> \frac{7}{3}$

Hence, the required solution is $\frac{7}{3}$.
