Answer: 3 1/3

Step-by-step explanation: You change 8 1/6 to improper fraction which is 49/6 and change 4 5/6 to improper fraction which is 29/6. Next you take 49/6 and subtract 29/6 which is 20/6.After that you simplify 20/6 by divide both sides by 2 which gives you 10/3.Lastly change 10/3 to a mixed number which is 3 1/3.

Hope it helps :) and look at pic below.
