Answer:

7/6

Explanation:

To subtract 5/6 cherry cakes from 2 cherry cakes, you can first find a common denominator for both numbers, which in this case is 6. Then, subtract the fractions:

2 cherry cakes - 5/6 cherry cakes

To have a common denominator, express 2 as an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 6:

2 = 12/6

Now, you can subtract the fractions:

(12/6) cherry cakes - (5/6) cherry cakes = (12 - 5)/6 cherry cakes = 7/6 cherry cakes

So, 2 cherry cakes minus 5/6 cherry cakes is equal to 7/6 cherry cakes.
