Question

What is the answer to algebra question 1/2 + -1/3?

Answer 1

The least common denominator (lcd) is 6, so multiply the numerator and denominator of 1/2 by 3/3

We now have 3/6 + (-1/3)

Now multiply (-1/3) by 2/2 (as before so as to have the fraction over the lcd)

(-1/3) x 2/2 = -2/6     Combine the two fractions:

We now have 3/6 - 2/6 = 1/6

The answer is 1/6   <<<<<

Answer 2

1/6. Or 0.5-0.33 = 0.17

Answer 3

Convert both to a common denominator, which would be 6.

Therefore you must multiply 1/2 by 3/3, and -1/3 by 2/2.

So you have 3/6+-2/6,

Your answer being 1/6.

Answer 4

1/2 - 1/3 = ?

3/6 - 2/6 = ?

1/6

Answer 5

1/2 - 1/3 = 1/6
