Given the following question:


9(2)/(5)-5(3)/(6)
\begin{gathered} 9(2)/(5)-5(3)/(6) \\ 9(2)/(5)=5*9=45+2=47=(47)/(5) \\ 5(3)/(6)=6*5=30+3=33=(33)/(6) \\ (47)/(5)-(33)/(6) \\ CD=30 \\ (47)/(5)*6=(282)/(30) \\ (33)/(6)*5=(165)/(30) \\ (282)/(30)-(165)/(30) \\ 282-165=117=(117)/(30)=(39)/(10) \\ \text{ Convert into mixed number} \\ (39)/(10)=39/10=3(9)/(10) \\ =3(9)/(10) \end{gathered}

Your answer is 3 9/10
