Question

1. subtract the fractions.

$\frac{5}{6} - \frac{1}{6}$
(there is an image of a rectangle divided into two parts, one labeled $\frac{1}{6}$ and the other with a number, and the total height labeled $\frac{5}{6}$. also, there are multiple - choice options: $\frac{3}{6}$, $\frac{6}{6}$, $\frac{4}{6}$, $\frac{2}{6}$)

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the operation

We need to subtract the fraction $\frac{1}{6}$ from $\frac{5}{6}$. Since the denominators are the same, we subtract the numerators.
$$\frac{5}{6} - \frac{1}{6} = \frac{5 - 1}{6}$$

Step2: Perform the subtraction in the numerator

Calculate $5 - 1$ which equals $4$. So the result is $\frac{4}{6}$? Wait, no, wait. Wait, $5 - 1 = 4$? Wait, no, $\frac{5}{6}-\frac{1}{6}=\frac{5 - 1}{6}=\frac{4}{6}$? Wait, but let's check again. Wait, the problem is $\frac{5}{6}-\frac{1}{6}$. So numerator: $5 - 1 = 4$, denominator remains $6$. So $\frac{4}{6}$? Wait, but let's simplify? Wait, no, the options are $\frac{3}{6}$, $\frac{6}{6}$, $\frac{4}{6}$, $\frac{2}{6}$. Wait, $\frac{5}{6}-\frac{1}{6}=\frac{4}{6}$. Wait, but let's do the calculation again. $5 - 1 = 4$, so $\frac{4}{6}$. So the answer should be $\frac{4}{6}$.

Answer:

$\frac{4}{6}$ (corresponding to the option with $\frac{4}{6}$)
