Answer:

1/6

Explanation:

In order to add or subtract fractions you have to have the same denominator for both factions. you do this through finding the Lowest Common Denominator (LCD) In this case it's six because both 3 and 6 (the denominators) can go into 6. So turn 1/3 into a fraction with 6 as the denominator through multiplying both the top and bottom of the fraction by 2

1/3 * 2/2 = 1*2/3*2 = 2/6

Then you can straightforwardly subtract

2/6 - 1/6 = 1/6
