how do i got that result?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
5/3 is the correct answer but in order to get the answer u wld first need to get the same denmanator and then u can subtract
OpenStudy (anonymous):
(2/1)-(1/3)
so 3 wld be the same denomanator
OpenStudy (anonymous):
thanks to all
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so u wld multiply the first term the top and the bottom by 3 and then u can subtract and then u wld get the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
it will be then 2/3 - 1/3?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
nope (2/1)*(3/3)=6/3
