2 - 2 = 0 and 5 / 3 - 3 / 2 = 10 / 6 - 9 / 6 = 1 / 6 ;
Then, 2 5/3-2 3/2= 1 / 6 ;

First, we can convert both of them to improper fractions.

We do that by multiplying the denominator to the whole number, adding it to the numerator, and keeping the denominator.

2 5/3 - 2 3/2

So we have:

11/3 - 7/2

Convert both of them to denominators of 6:

22/6 - 21/6

Subtract the numerators and keep the denominators:

1/6
