5 and five sixths
8 and 1/2 = 17/2 = 51/6
2 and 2/3 = 8/3 = 16/6
51/6 - 16/6 = 35/6 = 5 and 5/6 or 5 and five sixths
Six thirds is two. Two minus one half is one and a half. 2 - 0.5 - 1.5
5/3 minus 1/2 is 1 1/6
5 and 1/2- 1 and 2/3= 3 and 5/6.
2/3 can be converted to 4/6. So 4/6 - 1/6= 3/6 or 1/2
or 5 and one third
One minus one third is two thirds. 1=3/3 3/3-1/3=2/3
2 and 1 half!
2/3 minus 1/6 is 1/2
9 - 11 - 2 - 2 2/3 + 6 1/3 = -1/3 or minus one third. Expressed as a decimal, this is equal to -0.3 recurring (that is, -0.3333...)
There are 1 and 1/2 thirds in one half
1 - 2/3, first convert the 1 to thirds, thusly 3/3 - 2/3 = 1/3So, 1 minus two thirds equals one third.
1/3 or one-thirds. Hope This Helps.PW
