Step-by-step explanation: To subtract mixed numbers, first subtract the fractions.
Notice here however that we have 3/6 - 5/6
which will give us a negative fraction.
Since this will cause us a lot of trouble, instead,
let's rewrite the first mixed number.
We can do this by thinking of 4 and 3/6 as 3 + 1 and 3/6
or 3 + 9/6 by changing 1 and 3/6 to an improper fraction.
So 4 and 3/6 can be written as 3 and 9/6.
So we have 3 and 9/6 - 2 and 5/6.
Now subtract the fractions.
9/6 - 5/6 is 4/6.
So we have 1 and 4/6 or 1 and 2/3.
As an improper fraction, the answer is 5/3.

1 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
The denominators are the same, so we have to borrow from the 4
Borrow 1 in the form 6/6
3 + 6/6+3/6 - 2 5/6
3 9/6 - 2 5/6
1 4/6
Simplify the fraction by dividing the top and bottom by 2
1 2/3
