8 1/6 - 3 5/6

Transfer one of the wholes to 1/6

(add 6 fractions parts to one fraction part (the numerator of 8 1/6, change the 8 wholes to 7)

The result of the new fractions are:

7 7/6 - 3 5/6 = 4 2/6

With renaming do you mean turn it into a improper fraction or simplify? (I’ll do both)

Improper Fraction:
26/6

Simplify:
For the fraction (don’t include whole number to simplify)
Divide numerator and denominator by two
You get 1/3 (divide by two because numbers are even)
(4 1/3)

8 (1)/(6) -3 (5)/(6) = 7 (7)/(6) -3 (5)/(6)

= 4 (2)/(6) = 4 (1)/(3)
