First you convert to a common denominator:
5 6/7 + 1 1/2
= 5 12/14 + 1 7/14
Now you can subtract the integer part and the fractional part separately. 5 - 4 = 1, and 12 - 7 = 5, so the result is:
4 5/14
If the fractional part of the first number is less than the fractional part of the second number, you must take one away from the integer part, and add (in this case) 14/14 to the fractional part, so that you can do the subtraction. This is similar to the concept of "borrowing" when you subtract integers.

What else can I help you with?
If you had a fraction pieces of sevenths do you think you could make half a circle using only sevenths why or why not?
Yes. If you had 3.5 sevenths, that is exactly a half.
How do you take a half from a decimal number?
Subtract 0.5
What number can you subtract half from obtain a result that is zero?
if it doesnt have to be a whole number then half. if it does,... i dont know
What number lies halfway between 2 sevenths and 5 sevenths?
The fraction that lies halfway between 2/7 and 5/7 is 1/2 or one half.
What is one half of four sevenths?
To find one half of four sevenths, we first need to find half of one seventh. Half of one seventh is one fourteenth (1/14). Therefore, half of four sevenths is four fourteenths (4/14) or simplified to two sevenths (2/7).
What is two sevenths closer to one half or one?
Two sevenths are closer to a half.
What is two sevenths plus two sevenths?
4 sevenths just over half
If you had a fraction pieces of sevenths do you think you could make half a circle using only sevenths why or why not?
Yes. If you had 3.5 sevenths, that is exactly a half.
What is 4 and five sevenths - 3 and a half?
1
What number can you subtract half from to obtain a result that is zero?
The wording is ambiguous. If the questions means, "From what number can you subtract one-half to get a result of zero?" then the answer is one-half. (1/2) - (1/2) = 0 If the question means, "From what number can you subtract half of the number to get a result of zero?" then the answer is zero. 0 - (1/2)0 = 0
How do you take a half from a decimal number?

What is the mixed number of 2 and 1 half?
21/2 is itself a mixed number
What number lies halfway between 2 sevenths and 5 sevenths?
The fraction that lies halfway between 2/7 and 5/7 is 1/2 or one half.
What is one half of four sevenths?
To find one half of four sevenths, we first need to find half of one seventh. Half of one seventh is one fourteenth (1/14). Therefore, half of four sevenths is four fourteenths (4/14) or simplified to two sevenths (2/7).
Why does it make sense to round a mixed number to the nearest whole number when estimating a sum or difference Could you round to the nearest one half instead?
Some people find it easier to add or subtract whole numbers but yes, you could round to the nearest half.
