Answer:

1 5/6

First make it a mixed number. 11/2=5 1/2. 11/3=3 2/3. Next, you find the common denominator. 2 and 3 are both multiples of 6. You multiply 11x3=33, 2x3=6, 11x2=22 3x2= 6. Your new numbers are 5 3/6 and 3 4/6. Now you subtract. 5-3=2, but you have to regroup, so you end up with 1. 9/6-4/6=5/6. 1+5/6=1 5/6
