$\huge \boxed{\mathbb{QUESTION} \downarrow}$

$\large \boxed{\mathfrak{Answer \: with \: Explanation} \downarrow}$

$3 \frac { 5 } { 6 } - 1 \frac { 1 } { 3 } \\$

Multiply 3 and 6 to get 18.

$(18+5)/(6)-(1* 3+1)/(3) \\$

Multiply 1 and 3 to get 3.

$(23)/(6)-(3+1)/(3) \\$

Add 3 and 1 to get 4.

$(23)/(6)-(4)/(3) \\$

The least common multiple of 6 and 3 is 6. Convert 23/6 and 4/3 to fractions with denominator 6.

$(23)/(6)-(8)/(6) \\$

Because 23/6 and 8/6 have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$(23-8)/(6) \\$

Subtract 8 from 23 to get 15.

$(15)/(6) \\$

Reduce the fraction 15/6 to its lowest terms by extracting and cancelling out 3.

$(5)/(2) \\$

5/2 as a mixed fraction will become :-

$\huge \boxed{\boxed{ \bf \: (5)/(2) = 2(1)/(2) }} \\$
