Question

what is the value of the expression (2/3 –1) + 2/3?

Answer 1

We have to find the value of the expression:

$(\frac{2}{3}-1)+\frac{2}{3}$

We will do the operations inside the parenthesis, and thus we get:

$\begin{gathered} (\frac{2-3}{3})+\frac{2}{3} \\ =-\frac{1}{3}+\frac{2}{3} \\ =\frac{-1+2}{3} \\ =\frac{1}{3} \end{gathered}$

This means that the value of the expression is 1/3.
