Convert mixed number 5 5/6 to a improper fraction: 5 5/6 = 5 5/6 = 5 · 6 + 56 = 30 + 56 = 35/6
Convert mixed number 3 13 to a improper fraction: 3 1/3 = 3 1/3 = 3 · 3 + 13 = 9 + 13 = 10/3
Subtract: 35/6 - 10/3 = 35/6 - 10x2 / 3x2 = 35/6 - 20/6 = 35 - 20/6 = 156 = 3x5 / 3x2 = 5/2 or 2.5
Or in simpler terms, 5 5/6 - 3 1/3 = 52 = 2 1/2 = 2.5
