Question

find the value of the expression
( t - \frac{1}{3} )
for ( t = \frac{5}{6} ).
write your answer as a fraction or as a whole or mixed number.

Explanation:

Step1: Substitute t into expression

$\frac{5}{6} - \frac{1}{3}$

Step2: Convert to common denominator

$\frac{5}{6} - \frac{2}{6}$

Step3: Subtract numerators

$\frac{5-2}{6} = \frac{3}{6}$

Step4: Simplify the fraction

$\frac{3\div3}{6\div3} = \frac{1}{2}$

Answer:

$\frac{1}{2}$
