[2/3 -1/3] times 5/8
(1/3) * (5/8) = 5/24
so that would be the answer??
I told you the answer.
Okay thank you Ms.Sue :]
You're welcome, Kalyn.
To solve the expression [2/3 - 1/3] times 5/8, we can break it down into smaller steps.
Step 1: Simplify the expression inside the brackets [2/3 - 1/3].
To subtract fractions, the denominators must be the same. In this case, the denominators are already the same, which is 3.
2/3 - 1/3 = (2 - 1)/3 = 1/3
Step 2: Multiply the result from step 1 by 5/8.
To multiply fractions, you simply multiply the numerators together, and then multiply the denominators together.
1/3 * 5/8 = (1 * 5) / (3 * 8) = 5/24
So, [2/3 - 1/3] times 5/8 equals 5/24.
