Answer 1

Its A

Explanation:

Answer 2

For this case we have the following data:

• Shelly has a beaker with
  `5 (2)/(3)` fluid ounces of water.
• She pours out
  `3 (1)/(3)` fluid ounces of water.

Therefore, the amount of water remaining is given by:

`5 \frac {2} {3} -3 \frac {1} {3}`

Rewriting the expression we have:

`5 \frac {2} {3} -3 \frac {1} {3} = 2 \frac {1} {3}`

Answer:

The expression sought is given by:

`5 \frac {2} {3} -3 \frac {1} {3} = 2 \frac {1} {3}`
