We have to solve the expression:


\begin{gathered} (9)/(2)-(3+(1)/(3)) \\ (9)/(2)-3-(1)/(3) \\ -3+(9)/(2)-(1)/(3) \\ -3+(9\cdot3-1\cdot2)/(2\cdot3) \\ -3+(27-2)/(6) \\ -3+(25)/(6) \\ -3+(24+1)/(6) \\ -3+(24)/(6)+(1)/(6) \\ -3+4+(1)/(6) \\ 1+(1)/(6) \end{gathered}

Answer: the expression is equal to 1 1/6.
