If it the question is 3 and 1/3, then

3 and 1/3 = 3* (3/3) + 1/3 since 3/3 is just 1. Multiplying anything by 1 is itself!

9/3 + 1/3 = 10/3
The denominators are the same so you can just add the numerators

Then:

10/3 - 5/6 = 20/6 - 5/6

Same as before, you multiply 10/3 by 2/2 to have the same denominator as 5/6

20/6 - 5/6 = 15/6

Simplify
5/2
