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.
2/3 can be converted to 4/6. So 4/6 - 1/6= 3/6 or 1/2
seventy-eleven and a half

Oh, what a happy little math question we have here! To find the answer, we need to make sure we have a common denominator. Both fractions have the same denominator when it's 12, so we can subtract them easily. Four sixths minus three twelfths equals one twelfth. Just like painting, math can be a beautiful and calming experience when we take it step by step.
