1. Problem Description

The problem is to evaluate the expression 23+1216\frac{2}{3} + \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{6}.

2. Solution Steps

To add or subtract fractions, we need to find a common denominator.
The least common multiple (LCM) of 3, 2, and 6 is

6. We rewrite each fraction with a denominator of

6.
23=2×23×2=46\frac{2}{3} = \frac{2 \times 2}{3 \times 2} = \frac{4}{6}
12=1×32×3=36\frac{1}{2} = \frac{1 \times 3}{2 \times 3} = \frac{3}{6}
16\frac{1}{6} remains as 16\frac{1}{6}.
Now we can rewrite the expression as:
46+3616\frac{4}{6} + \frac{3}{6} - \frac{1}{6}
=4+316= \frac{4+3-1}{6}
=716= \frac{7-1}{6}
=66= \frac{6}{6}
=1= 1
