Before you can add or subtract fractions, they need to have the same denominator.
Take the 1/2, multiply numerator and denominator both by 3, and you have 3/6 .
That doesn't change the value of the fraction. It's just a different way to write
the same fraction, and now you'll be able to use it to solve the example.
The problem: (1/2) - (1/6)
Different way to write it: (3/6) - (1/6)
You really should be able to take it from there. If not, then you need some
serious brushing up, and I hope you'll make an appointment with your teacher,
to get together and review the things that came before this, to make sure you
understand them.
