Imagine a pie or Pizza, cut it in half, now you have 2 equal parts. Each is 1/2. If you put them together, you have 1 whole (pie or pizza) same concept if you cut it into 6 pieces, then put back together. Each of those parts is 1/6. All 6 together is 6/6 or 1 (essentially the same, we use 1 to simplify) obviously you can make 1 whole into as many parts as you like, for example 10, each of those would be 1/10 and 10/10 (or 10 together) make 1. The bottom number tells you size of increment or how small the part is in a fraction, i.e. how many of those make 1 whole. when they match like 10/10 you have a whole. If you see something like 20/10 that would simplify to 2.

What is 1 and a half minus 2 thirds?

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.
