2 1/2 - 5/3

Answer 1

Hi there!

I believe your answer is:

`(5)/(6)`

»»————-　★　————-««

Here’s why:

⸻⸻⸻⸻

`\boxed{\text{Solving the Problem...}}\\\\2(1)/(2) -(5)/(3)\\\\----------------\\\rightarrow \text{LCM} (2,3): 6\\\\\rightarrow 2(1)/(2)=(5)/(2)=(5*3)/(2*3)=(15)/(6)\\\\\rightarrow (5)/(3)=(5*2)/(3*2) =(10)/(6)\\\\\\\rightarrow (15)/(6) - (10)/(6)\\\\\rightarrow \boxed{(5)/(6)}`

⸻⸻⸻⸻

Hope this helps you. I apologize if it’s incorrect.
