5(1/6) - 2(2/3) = 31/6 - 8/3 = 31/6 - 16/6 = 15/6
5 minus 5 sixths is 4 and one sixth.
2/3 can be converted to 4/6. So 4/6 - 1/6= 3/6 or 1/2
To subtract one third from five sixths, you first need a common denominator. The common denominator for 6 and 3 is 6. Five sixths remains the same, while one third can be converted to two sixths. Therefore, five sixths minus two sixths equals three sixths, which simplifies to one half.
One minus a sixth is five sixths.
1 minus five sixths equals one sixth
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.
1/6 (one sixth)
5 minus 5 sixths is 4 and one sixth.
2/3 can be converted to 4/6. So 4/6 - 1/6= 3/6 or 1/2
