The answer is
2 (1)/(6).

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to subtract the fractions, we must make them like fractions. To do this, the denominators must be the same by multiplying (only). Since the first fraction is
(10)/(3), 3 can be multiplied by 2 to get 6, which is the other fraction, we can multiply it. Whatever you do to the denominator you must do to the numerator. Now multiply 2 by the numerator (10) to get
(20)/(6). Now we can subtract the fractions
(20)/(6) and
(7)/(6) to get 13/6. Since this fraction is not in mixed fraction form yet, we must do that first. goes into 13 twice, so the whole number is 2 and there is still 1 left, making the fraction
(1)/(6). Therefore, the difference is 2
(1)/(6).
