Answer:

23/6

Explanation:

9 1/6 - 5 1/3

9 1/6 = 55/6

5 1/3 = 16/3

55/6 - 16/3

= 55/6 - 32/6

= 23/6

So, the answer is 23/6

Answer: 23/6 or 3 5/6

Explanation:

1. Simplify 9 1/6 to 55/6

2. Simplify 5 1/3 to 16/3

3. To get a common denominator, multiply 16/3 by 2 to get 32/6.

4. Subtract 55/6 from 32/6 to get 23/6 or 3 5/6
