3 3/18

Step-by-step explanation:

5 3/6-2 1/3

We first need to turn our mixed numbers into fractions by multiplying the while number by the denominator, then adding the numerator. When we do this, 5 3/6 turns into 33/6 and 2 1/3 turns into 7/3. Now we have this:

33/6-7/3

Now we need to find the Least common multiple of the denominators in order to find our common denominator, which in this case is 6. 33/6 already has a denominator of 6, so we do not need to do anything to it. To give a denominator of 6 to 7/3, however, we must multiply by 2, giving us this:

33/6-14/6

Now we can subtract the numerators.

19/6

To turn this back into a mixed number, we divide 19 by 6, which gives us 3 with a remainder of 1. Therefore, our answer is 3 1/6. This is an equivalent fraction to the fourth answer, 3 3/18.

HTH :)
