To subtract ( 1/3 ) from ( 7 frac{2}{3} ), first convert the mixed number to an improper fraction.
1. Convert ( 7 frac{2}{3} ):
– Multiply the whole number ( 7 ) by the denominator ( 3 ): ( 7 times 3 = 21 ).
– Add the numerator ( 2 ): ( 21 + 2 = 23 ).
– So, ( 7 frac{2}{3} = frac{23}{3} ).
2. Now subtract ( frac{1}{3} ):
[
frac{23}{3} – frac{1}{3} = frac{23 – 1}{3} = frac{22}{3}.
]
3. Convert ( frac{22}{3} ) back to a mixed number:
– Divide ( 22 ) by ( 3 ): ( 22 div 3 = 7 ) remainder ( 1 ).
