What is the fraction

Answer: 2 1/6

Explanation:

Because the denominators are different, and there are whole numbers involved, then first make the fractions improper.

4 1/2 -> 9/2

6 2/3 -> 20/3

Next, make the denominators the same by multiplying each fraction by the denominator of the other.

9/2 * 3 = 27/6

20/3 * 2 = 40/6

Then you can subtract the numerators because the denominators are the same:

40/6-27/6= 13/6

Then you can convert to a mixed fraction if need be.
