First is addition

2 5/6 + 5 3/4

Common denominator: 12

2 5/6 = 2 10/12

5 3/4 = 5 9/12

2 10/12 + 5 9/12 = 7 19/12 = 8 7/12

Now subtract

8 7/12 - 3 2/3

Common denominator: 12

8 7/12 = 8 7/12

3 2/3 = 3 8/12

8 7/12 - 3 8/12 is the same as:

7 19/12 - 3 8/12 = 4 11/12

Your answer is 4 11/12

Hope this helps :)
