To solve the expression \(2 - \frac{1}{3}\), you should first convert 2 into a fraction with a denominator of 3.
Convert 2 into a fraction: \[ 2 = \frac{2 \times 3}{3} = \frac{6}{3} \]
Now subtract \( \frac{1}{3} \) from \( \frac{6}{3} \): \[ \frac{6}{3} - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{6 - 1}{3} = \frac{5}{3} \]
So, \(2 - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{5}{3}\). This can also be expressed as a mixed number: \[ \frac{5}{3} = 1 \frac{2}{3} \]
Thus, the final answer is \( \frac{5}{3} \) or \( 1 \frac{2}{3} \).
