Answer:

1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3 - 1/2

we can see that the denominators have the values of 3 and 2.

We find that the LCM of these 2 numbers is 6, hence we can express both fractions using a denominator of 6

2/3 = 4/6    (by multiplying both numerator and denominator by 2)

1/2 = 3/6     (by multiplying both numerator and denominator by 3)

hence

2/3 - 1/2

= 4/6 - 3/6

= (4-3) / 6

= 1/6
