simplify (1-1/2)/(1+1/2)

Solution

simplify

\frac{1 - \frac{1}{2}}{1 + \frac{1}{2}}

Solution

\frac{1}{3}

+1

Decimal Notation

0.33333 \dots

Solution steps

\frac{1 - \frac{1}{2}}{1 + \frac{1}{2}}

1 - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{2}

= \frac{\frac{1}{2}}{1 + \frac{1}{2}}

1 + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{2}

= \frac{\frac{1}{2}}{\frac{3}{2}}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{\frac{a}{b}}{\frac{c}{d}} = \frac{a \cdot d}{b \cdot c}

= \frac{1 \cdot 2}{2 \cdot 3}

Cancel

\frac{1 \cdot 2}{2 \cdot 3} : \frac{1}{3}

= \frac{1}{3}
