$1 \frac{2}{3}$ $1 2/3$

Explanation:

Break the question up into two parts. Firstly, you are subtracting $3$ $3$ from $5$ $5$ , which has an answer of $2$ $2$ .

From that, you have the additional $\frac{1}{3}$ $1/3$ . Therefore, you subtract $\frac{1}{3}$ $1/3$ from $2$ $2$ , giving you $1 . ¯ 6$ $1.bar(6)$ or $1 \frac{2}{3}$ $1 2/3$ .

$1 \frac{2}{3}$ $1 2/3$

Explanation:

$5 - 3 \frac{1}{3}$ $5-3 1/3$

change both fractions to improper ones, with denominator as $3$ $3$

$= \frac{15}{3} - \frac{10}{3}$ $=15/3-10/3$

$\frac{15 - 10}{3} = \frac{5}{3}$ $(15-10)/3=5/3$

change back to a mixed number

$= 1 \frac{2}{3}$ $=1 2/3$

$\frac{5}{3} = 1 \frac{2}{3}$ $5/3=1 2/3$

Explanation:

By converting mixed numbers to fractions, we know $3 \frac{1}{3}$ $3 1/3$ is the same as

$\frac{10}{3}$ $10/3$ . Our expression now turns into

$5 - \frac{10}{3}$ $5-10/3$

We can rewrite $5$ $5$ as $\frac{15}{3}$ $15/3$ to get a common denominator. We now have

$\frac{15}{3} - \frac{10}{3}$ $15/3-10/3$

Since we have the same denominators, we can just subtract the numerators to get

$\frac{5}{3} = 1 \frac{2}{3}$ $5/3=1 2/3$

Hope this helps!
