Question

Tasha is trying to solve 1 ⅙ - ⅚. She says it’s impossible because you only have ⅙, so you can’t take away ⅚. Explain how Tasha can solve this problem. Please help me

Answer 1

Tasha can make 1 1/6 an improper number making 1 1/6=7/6. Then she can subtract 7/6-5/6, which is 2/6. Simplified 1/3.

Now it's not impossible! ;D
