Please solve this equation.

Answer 1

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 2

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
