[tex] \sf \looparrowright \: 8 \frac{1}{6} - 5 \frac{5}{6} [/tex]
Convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions
- Denominator × Integer + Numerator = Improper fraction
- The Denominator remains the same as before
[tex] \underbrace {8\frac{1}{6} = \frac{6 \times 8 + 1}{6} = \frac{49}{6} }[/tex]
[tex] \underbrace {5\frac{5}{6} = \frac{6 \times 5 + 5}{6} = \frac{35}{6} }[/tex]
Now,
[tex] \sf \looparrowright \: \frac{49}{6} - \frac{35}{6} [/tex]
Write the numerators above the common Denominator 6
[tex] \sf \looparrowright \: \frac{49 - 35}{6} [/tex]
Calculate the difference
[tex] \sf \looparrowright \: \frac{14}{6} [/tex]
Reduce the fraction with 2
[tex] \sf \looparrowright \frac{7}{3} [/tex]
