It is usually easier to convert mixed numbers to improper fractions and then do the subtraction which requires the denominators (bottom numbers) must be equal; so first convert the fractions into equivalent fractions with the same denominator. Then the numerators (top numbers) are subtracted and the resulting fraction simplified:

95/9 - 65/6 =9x9+5/9 - 6x6+5/6

= 86/9 - 41/6

= 86x2/9x2 - 41x3/6x3

= 172/18 - 123/18

= 49/18

= 2x18+13/18

= 213/18
