Answer:

Explanation:

Lets solve this step by step, shall we?

(-1 1/3) - (1/6)

so to do this problem, we are going to have to convert these equations so they have the same denominator!

-1 1/3 will become -1 2/6

now, we can do the math!

so, our answer will have to be negative, and since we are subtracting a positive from a negative, we will actually be adding!

So lets add the numerators

1+2 = 3

so, our fraction will be -3/6

We can simplify this to be -1/2

Our final ANSWER will be

-1 1/2

or

-1.5

or

-3/2

Hope this helped!
