Hi there!

»»————- ★ ————-««

I believe your answer is:


(5)/(6)

Here’s why:

⸻⸻⸻⸻


\boxed{\text{Solving the Problem...}}\\\\2(1)/(2) -(5)/(3)\\\\----------------\\\rightarrow \text{LCM} (2,3): 6\\\\\rightarrow 2(1)/(2)=(5)/(2)=(5*3)/(2*3)=(15)/(6)\\\\\rightarrow (5)/(3)=(5*2)/(3*2) =(10)/(6)\\\\\\\rightarrow (15)/(6) - (10)/(6)\\\\\rightarrow \boxed{(5)/(6)}

⸻⸻⸻⸻

Hope this helps you. I apologize if it’s incorrect.
