By some arrangement.

One can find $= \frac{20}{33}$ $=20/33$

Your expression can be rewritten:

$\frac{17}{6} - \frac{49}{22}$ $17/6 - 49/22$

Expand the first term by 22 and the second by 6

$= \frac{374}{132} - \frac{294}{132} = \frac{374 - 294}{132} = \frac{80}{132} = \frac{20}{33}$ $=374/132 - 294/132 = (374-294)/132 = 80/132 = 20/33$

It is your answer $\frac{20}{33}$ $20/33$

$\frac{20}{33}$ $20/33$

Subtract the whole numbers first and then find the LCD of $6 and 22$ $6 and 22$ and make equivalent fractions.

$2 \frac{5}{6} - 2 \frac{5}{22} \leftarrow L C D = 66$ $2 5/6 - 2 5/22" "larr LCD = 66$

$= 0 \frac{55 - 15}{66}$ $=0 (55-15)/66$

$= \frac{40}{66} \leftarrow$ $= 40/66" "larr$ now simplify

$= \frac{20}{33}$ $= 20/33$
