Question

$$\frac{ 2 }{ 3 } + \frac{ -13 }{ 14 }$$

Evaluate

$-\frac{11}{42}\approx -0.261904762$

Solution Steps

Fraction $\frac{-13}{14}$ can be rewritten as $-\frac{13}{14}$ by extracting the negative sign.

$$\frac{2}{3}-\frac{13}{14}$$

Least common multiple of $3$ and $14$ is $42$. Convert $\frac{2}{3}$ and $\frac{13}{14}$ to fractions with denominator $42$.

$$\frac{28}{42}-\frac{39}{42}$$

Since $\frac{28}{42}$ and $\frac{39}{42}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{28-39}{42}$$

Subtract $39$ from $28$ to get $-11$.

$$-\frac{11}{42}$$

Factor

$-\frac{11}{42} = -0.2619047619047619$
