Answer:
1/6
Step-by-step explanation:
So we are subtracting a negative which is the same as adding. Our equation becomes -1/3+1/2. To add fractions we need a common denominator (the denominator of a fraction is the number on the bottom) To fine the least common denominator we need to find the lowest number that both 3 and 2 go into which is 6. Then we will multiply each fraction by the number that will give us 6 for a denominator which is 2 for -1/3 and 3 for 1/2. So -1/3 times 2 is -2/6 and 1/2 times 3 is 3/6. Our equation is now -2/6+3/6. Now we will add the numerators ( the numerator is the number on the top of the fraction) and the denominators stay the same when adding or subtraction fractions -2/6+3/6=1/6
