Answer 1

(1 1/6) - 5/6

1 is a whole, or 6 out of 6, or 6/6

(6/6  1/6) -5/6= 7/6-5/6=2/6=1/3

By your answer, you are subtracting 1/6 from 5/6, but you need to do the other way around as it says in the problem. Do not switch the numbers around when you subtract.

Think as you have $1 and let's say 2 cent, but you have to pay let's say 5 cents. You need to brake $1 and have 100 cents plus 2 cents =102-5=97 cents.

Answer 2

1 1/6 - 5/6

=7/6 - 5/6

=2/6

=1/3
