Question

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 labeled \\(g\\), with the total length labeled \\(\frac{5}{6}\\))
options:
\\(\frac{3}{6}\\)
\\(\frac{6}{6}\\)
\\(\frac{4}{6}\\)
\\(\frac{2}{6}\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall fraction subtraction rule

For subtracting fractions with the same denominator, we use the rule $\frac{a}{c} - \frac{b}{c}=\frac{a - b}{c}$, where $c
eq0$.

Step2: Apply the rule to the given fractions

Here, $a = 5$, $b = 1$, and $c = 6$. So, $\frac{5}{6}-\frac{1}{6}=\frac{5 - 1}{6}=\frac{4}{6}$.

Answer:

$\frac{4}{6}$ (or simplified as $\frac{2}{3}$, but based on the options, $\frac{4}{6}$ is the answer)
