Answer:

The answer is


\huge (1)/(3)

Explanation:


(5)/(6) - (1)/(2) \\

To solve this first find the common denominator

From the question the common denominator is 6

So we have


(5)/(6) - (1)/(2) = (5 - 3)/(6) = (2)/(6) = (1)/(3) \\

We have the final answer as


(1)/(3) \\

Hope this helps you

Answer:

1/3

Explanation:

5/6 - 1/2

note that you could also write 1/2 as 3/6 since when divided you get half once again .

5/6- 3/6 = (5-3)/6= 2/6 = 1/3
