Question

Mark the correct alternative in each of the following:

$4\frac{1}{3}-2\frac{1}{3}=$

(a) $2\frac{1}{3}$ (b) 2 (c) $3\frac{1}{3}$ (d) $\frac{1}{2}$

Answer 1

$$\begin{gathered} 4\frac{1}{3}-2\frac{1}{3} \\ =\frac{13}{3}-\frac{7}{3} \\ =\frac{13-7}{3} \\ =\frac{6}{3} \\ =2 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the correct answer is option (b).
