Solve 3 + (3/3 × 2/3) - 2: Mixed Operations Practice

According to the rules of the order of arithmetic operations, we first place the multiplication exercise inside of parentheses:

$3+(\frac{3}{3}\times\frac{2}{3})-2=$

We then solve the exercise in the parentheses, combining the multiplication into a single exercise:

$(\frac{3}{3}\times\frac{2}{3})=\frac{3\times2}{3\times3}=\frac{6}{9}=\frac{2}{3}$

We obtain the following exercise:

$3+\frac{2}{3}-2=$

Lastly we solve the exercise from left to right:

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

$3\frac{2}{3}-2=1\frac{2}{3}$
