Question

$$\frac{-4}{3}-\frac{-1}{3}$$

Evaluate

$-1$

Solution Steps

Fraction $\frac{-4}{3}$ can be rewritten as $-\frac{4}{3}$ by extracting the negative sign.

$$-\frac{4}{3}-\frac{-1}{3}$$

Fraction $\frac{-1}{3}$ can be rewritten as $-\frac{1}{3}$ by extracting the negative sign.

$$-\frac{4}{3}-\left(-\frac{1}{3}\right)$$

The opposite of $-\frac{1}{3}$ is $\frac{1}{3}$.

$$-\frac{4}{3}+\frac{1}{3}$$

Since $-\frac{4}{3}$ and $\frac{1}{3}$ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{-4+1}{3}$$

Add $-4$ and $1$ to get $-3$.

$$\frac{-3}{3}$$

Divide $-3$ by $3$ to get $-1$.

$$-1$$

Factor

$-1$
