7 1/3 minus 5 5/6 is 1 1/2
You change five sixths into ten twelfths and three quarters into nine twelfths. Then you subtract the nine twelfths from the ten twelfths, which equals one twelfth.
5/6 - 1/6 = 4/6 = 2/3
5 minus 5 sixths is 4 and one sixth.
One minus a sixth is five sixths.
1 minus five sixths equals one sixth

Five and one third.
Negative one half

Oneand one sixth is six sixths (one in total) plus one sixth - or seven sixths. So seven sixths minus 5 sixths is 2 sixths which can also be expressed as one third.
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.
