(five and two thirds) minus (two and three fourths) = 2.91666667
two one half
five and a half(I took a short cut: seven and five fourths minus two and three fourths... seven minus two & five fourths minus three fourths)
Eight and three fourths minus by two and one fourth equals six and one fourths (6.5).
six and three-fourths
two and 1/4
the answer two 9 and one eighth minus 6 and three fourths is
6
-1/2
Three fourths, two fourths, three fourths.
