Answer (3)

2/3 - 6/3 = -4/3 or -1 1/3 (negative one and one third)

0/0 because two thirds are lower then sixth rids unless u switch it then it would be 3/1

The result of two-thirds minus six-thirds is negative four-thirds, represented as − 3 4 ​ . When subtracting fractions with the same denominator, we can simply subtract the numerators. Therefore, the final answer is − 3 4 ​ .
