Answer:

1/6 or 0.167

Explanation:

First understand that 4 x 1/4 is equal to 1, then replace it in the equation

1 - 5/6

Turn the whole number into a fraction that can be computed

6/6 - 5/6

Solve the equation

6/6 - 5/6 = 1/6

If you need it as a decimal enter it in a calculator and get

0.16666666667

Since the 6 is repeating you can just round that to

0.167
