Answer:

16/6 or 2 2/3

Explanation:

Hi,

First, start off by writing 3 2/6 as an improper fraction. To do this, multiply the denominator by the whole number and add the numerator...

6 x 3 = 18 + 2 = 20

3 2/6 = 20/6

20/6 - 2/3

Now, get common denominators.

2/3 X 2/2 = 4/6

20/6 - 4/6 = 16/6

Your answer is 16/6 or 2 4/6 which simplifies to 2 2/3

Hope this helps :)
