Question

2.
\

$$\begin{array}{r}5\\ - 3\\frac{5}{6}\\\\ hline \\end{array}$$

Explanation:

Step1: Convert 5 to a mixed number with denominator 6

We know that \(5 = 4 + 1\), and \(1=\frac{6}{6}\), so \(5 = 4\frac{6}{6}\).

Step2: Subtract the mixed numbers

Now we subtract \(4\frac{6}{6}-3\frac{5}{6}\). First, subtract the whole numbers: \(4 - 3 = 1\). Then subtract the fractions: \(\frac{6}{6}-\frac{5}{6}=\frac{1}{6}\). Combine the results: \(1+\frac{1}{6}=1\frac{1}{6}\).

Answer:

\(1\frac{1}{6}\)
