question 2
find the difference.
\\(\frac{12}{6} - \frac{4}{3} =?\\)
\\(\bigcirc\\) 8/3
\\(\bigcirc\\) 4/6
\\(\bigcirc\\) 1/3
\\(\bigcirc\\) 20/6

Explanation:

Step1: Simplify the first fraction

Simplify $\frac{12}{6}$ to get $2$, which can be written as $\frac{6}{3}$ (to have the same denominator as the second fraction).

Step2: Subtract the fractions

Now subtract $\frac{4}{3}$ from $\frac{6}{3}$: $\frac{6}{3}-\frac{4}{3}=\frac{6 - 4}{3}=\frac{2}{3}$? Wait, no, wait, let's do it with the original denominators. Wait, $\frac{12}{6}$ is $2$, and $\frac{4}{3}$ is $1\frac{1}{3}$. So $2 - 1\frac{1}{3}=\frac{2}{3}$? But that's not one of the options? Wait, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, let's do it with common denominators. The common denominator of 6 and 3 is 6. So $\frac{4}{3}=\frac{8}{6}$. Then $\frac{12}{6}-\frac{8}{6}=\frac{12 - 8}{6}=\frac{4}{6}$, which simplifies to $\frac{2}{3}$, but $\frac{4}{6}$ is an option. Wait, but let's check again. $\frac{12}{6}=2$, $\frac{4}{3}\approx1.333$, $2 - 1.333 = 0.666$, and $\frac{4}{6}=0.666$, $\frac{8}{3}\approx2.666$, $\frac{1}{3}\approx0.333$, $\frac{20}{6}\approx3.333$. So the correct calculation is $\frac{12}{6}-\frac{4}{3}=\frac{12}{6}-\frac{8}{6}=\frac{4}{6}$. Wait, but let's check the options. The options are 8/3, 4/6, 1/3, 20/6. So according to the calculation with common denominators (6), $\frac{12}{6}-\frac{8}{6}=\frac{4}{6}$, so the answer is 4/6? Wait, but $\frac{4}{6}$ simplifies to $\frac{2}{3}$, but maybe the question doesn't require simplifying the result. So the correct answer is 4/6.

Answer:

4/6 (the option with 4/6)
