Simplify: \((2\frac{1}{6} - 1\frac{2}{3}) \div 2\frac{2}{3}\).
- A. 3/16
- B. 7/16
- C. 1 13/24
- D. 2 11/24
Correct Answer: A. 3/16
Explanation
\((2\frac{1}{6} - 1\frac{2}{3}) \div 2\frac{2}{3}\)
= \((\frac{13}{6} - \frac{5}{3}) \div \frac{8}{3}\)
= \(\frac{3}{6} \times \frac{3}{8}\)
= \(\frac{3}{16}\)
