It is usually easier to convert mixed numbers to improper fractions and then do the subtraction.
To add/subtract fractions, 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 added/subtracted and the resulting fraction simplified (converting any improper fractions to mixed numbers);
→ 3 5/6 - 2 7/15 = (3×6+5)/6 - (2×15+7)/15
= 23/6 - 37/15
= (23×5)/(6×5) - (37×2)/(15×2)
= 115/30 - 74/30
= (115 - 74)/30
= 41/30
= (1×30 + 11)/30
= 1 11/30
