The expression \( 2 - \frac{2}{3} \) can be simplified as follows:
Convert \( 2 \) into a fraction with a denominator of \( 3 \): \[ 2 = \frac{2 \times 3}{1 \times 3} = \frac{6}{3} \]
Now, subtract \( \frac{2}{3} \) from \( \frac{6}{3} \): \[ \frac{6}{3} - \frac{2}{3} = \frac{6 - 2}{3} = \frac{4}{3} \]
So, \( 2 - \frac{2}{3} = \frac{4}{3} \).
If you'd prefer \( \frac{4}{3} \) in mixed number form, it can be expressed as \( 1 \frac{1}{3} \).
