Answer:

zero (0)

Explanation:

Order of operations rules require that we do the work inside parentheses first:

2 5/6 - (4 1/3 - 3/2)

The LCD of 13 and 3/2 is 6.

2 5/6 - (4 1/3 - 3/2) becomes 2 5/6 - (4 2/6 - 9/6), or

2 5/6 - (26/6 - 9/6), or

2 5/6 - (17/6)

Rewriting 2 5/6 as 17/6, we get:

17/6 - 17/6 = 0

This expression evaluates as zero (0).
