1/3

Step-by-step explanation: To subtract mixed numbers, first subtract the fractions.

Notice here however that we have 1/6 - 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 3 and 1/6 as 2 + 1 and 1/6 or 2 + 7/6

by changing 1 and 1/6 into an improper fraction.

So 3 and 1/6 can be written as 2 and 7/6.

So we have 2 and 7/6 -  2 and 5/6.

Now, subtract the fractions.

So we have 7/6 - 5/6 which is 2/6.

Then subtract the whole numbers.

2 - 2 is 0.

However, we don't need to include 0 in our answer.

We can write our answer as 2/6.

However, 2/6 is not in lowest terms.

So divide the numerator and denominator by 2 to get 1/3.

So 3 and 1/6 - 2 and 5/6 is 1/3.
