$$ \frac{1}{2} a-\frac{a}{b} $$ if $$ a=4, b=3, c=-2 $$

Question

UpStudy AI · Accepted Answer

1. Write down the expression:
   
   $$
   \frac{1}{2} a - \frac{a}{b}
   $$

2. Substitute $$ a = 4 $$ and $$ b = 3 $$:

$$
   \frac{1}{2} \times 4 - \frac{4}{3}
   $$

3. Compute $$\frac{1}{2} \times 4$$:

$$
   \frac{1}{2} \times 4 = 2
   $$

4. Substitute back into the expression:

$$
   2 - \frac{4}{3}
   $$

5. Express $$2$$ as a fraction over $$3$$:

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

6. Subtract the fractions:

$$
   \frac{6}{3} - \frac{4}{3} = \frac{2}{3}
   $$

The final result is:

$$
\frac{2}{3}
$$
The final result is $$ \frac{2}{3} $$.

\( \frac{1}{2} a-\frac{a}{b} \) if \( a=4, b=3, c=-2 \)
