To subtract two fractions, we need a common denominator. The least common multiple of 6 and 9 is 18. Converting the fractions, five sixths becomes 15/18 and two ninths becomes 4/18. Therefore, five sixths minus two ninths is 15/18 - 4/18 = 11/18.

You have to convert your fractions so that they are all the same. In this case, we can use sixths.

Fifteen sixths minus ten sixths equals five sixths.
