Question

UpStudy AI · Accepted Answer

To solve the problem, we will follow these steps:

1. Calculate $$ \frac{1}{3} $$ of 23.
2. Subtract 5 from the result obtained in step 1.

Let's start with step 1:

$$
\frac{1}{3} \times 23
$$

Now, I will calculate this expression.
Calculate the value by following steps:
- step0: Calculate:
  $$\frac{1}{3}\times 23$$
- step1: Multiply:
  $$\frac{23}{3}$$
The result of $$ \frac{1}{3} $$ of 23 is $$ \frac{23}{3} $$ or approximately $$ 7.67 $$ (which can also be expressed as $$ 7 \frac{2}{3} $$).

Now, let's move to step 2:

We need to subtract 5 from $$ \frac{23}{3} $$:

$$
\frac{23}{3} - 5
$$

To perform this subtraction, we can express 5 as a fraction with a denominator of 3:

$$
5 = \frac{15}{3}
$$

Now we can rewrite the subtraction:

$$
\frac{23}{3} - \frac{15}{3} = \frac{23 - 15}{3} = \frac{8}{3}
$$

Thus, the final result is:

$$
\frac{8}{3}
$$

If you would like, I can also provide the decimal form of this result. Would you like that?
The result is $$ \frac{8}{3} $$ or approximately 2.67.
