Oh yes, one third is quite a bit smaller than five sixths. To compare, we can convert one third into two sixths. So five sixths is fully three sixths (equal to one half) larger than a third.

Three-sixths minus two-sixths is one-sixth.
two sixths.

One half is three sixths and one-third is two sixths. 3+2=5
There are two sixths in one third. 1/6 + 1/6 = 1/3 One third = two sixths
Yes. One sixth is one half of one third to be exact. Two-sixths are equal to one-third, three-sixths is a half, four-sixths is two-thirds, five-sixths is exactly what it is, and six-sixths is a whole.
When you want to add fractions that have different denominators, you have to convert them into fractions that do have the same denominators. So for example, how much is a half plus a third? Both of these can be converted into sixths, so one half equals three sixths, and one third equals two sixths. Three sixths plus two sixths equals five sixths. That's the answer. If you have three fractions with different denominators, the procedure is the same. Convert all three into fractions with the same denominators, then add them.
The answer is 1 and 1/6. Here is the math. Convert 1/3 to sixths. 1/3 = 2/6 5/6 + 2/6 = 7/6 = 1 1/6

Three-sixths minus two-sixths is one-sixth.
one third is equivalent to two sixths two sixths take away one sixth is one sixth
2 sixths, which is also one third.
two sixths.
You have to convert your fractions so that they are all the same. In this case, we can use sixths. So two and three sixths (two and a half), minus one and four sixths (one and two thirds), would equal five sixths. Another way to do it is to convert the whole numbers to sixths as well. Fifteen sixths minus ten sixths equals five sixths.
