    50-25 2/3 - 9 3/4 - 8 1/2 = 6 1/12

    Step-by-step explanation:

    To do this without a calculator you need to get common denominator

    a good choice would be 12 for the common denominator

    50 x 12 = 600

    25 x 12 = 300

    convert to 2/3 to x/12, multiply top and bottom by 4

    2/3 x 4 = 8/12

    add this to the 300 to get 308/12

    same with the other terms

    9 x 12 = 108

    convert 3/4 to x/12, multiply top and bottom by 3

    3/4 x 3 = 9/12

    add this to the 108 to get 117/12

    and do the same for the 8 1/2

    8x 12 = 96

    convert 1/2 to x/12, multiply top and bottom by 6

    1/2 = 6/12, add this to the 96

    do the subtraction and simplify
