Evaluate using the order of operations ( 8/9 - 1/3) x 2/3

 10/27  .

Explanation:

Given:  (8/9 − 1/3) * 2/3 = ? 


Convert "1/3" to "3/9" ; {1/3 = x/9 ; Solve for x;  1/3 = (1*3) / (3*3) = 3/9 ;

Rewrite as:  (8/9 − 3/9) * 2/3 = 
                                            (5/9)* (2/3) = (5*2) / (9*3) = 10/27 .

Is 8.50 an answer or no? ?
