5 1/9 minus 2 5/6 can be solved by changing the 9 and 6 to a common denominator of 18.

5 2/18 minus 2 15/18 is your new problem.

Now you need to borrow from the 5 to make 2/18 large enough to subtract 15/18.

4 20/18 minus 2 15/18 is your new problem.

Now you subtract the whole numbers and then then numerators of the fractions.

2 5/18 is your answer.

5/6 - 1/5 Subtraction of fractions. Step 1 ; Form improper fractions ( not required in this case). Step 2 ; Bring both denominators to the same value , and the numerators to equivalent values. Hence [5(5) - 1(6)] / ( 5 x 6) [ 25 - 6] / 30 Step 3; subtract the numerators [19] /30 Step 4 ; Cancel down if possible ( not possible in this case) Step 5; Convert to a mixed number ( not required in this case). Hence the answer is 19/30 NB For addition of fractions go through the same steps. Except at Step 3, you ADD the numerators. NNB Multiplication and division of fractions require different techniques.
