Let's break it down--
Common denominator's first:
2: 2, 4, 6.
3: 3, 6
3/6 and 2/6. Ok, so 6 2/6 and 4 3/6.
Now, you subtract those two.
6 2/6 - 4 3/6.
That will equal 1 5/6.
So, your answer would be 1 5/6.
Glad i could help, and good luck!

Let's convert both fractions into like denominators, so 6 1/3 becomes 6 2/6, 4 1/2 becomes 4 3/6. Subtract them, 6 2/6 becomes 5 8/6 - 4 3/6, which is 1 5/6.
Joby's plant was 1
inches taller than Pat's plant.

Urgent!!! Worth 45 points. Why does the author tell the story from Joby's point of view? What does this add to our understanding of the events and the reality if the Civil War? “Drummer boy of shiloh.”
