The difference between the mixed numbers is equal to 5/6.
<h3>How to perform the subtraction between the two mixed numbers?</h3>
A mixed number is a number that is written as a whole number plus an improper fraction, here we want to compute:
(2 + 1/2) - (1 + 2/3)
We can group the whole numbers and the fractions, so we get:
(2 - 1) + (1/2 - 2/3)
Now we can simplify this so we get:
(2 - 1) + (1/2 - 2/3)
= 1 + (3/6 - 4/6) = 1 - 1/6 = 6/6 - 1/6 = 5/6
We conclude that the difference between the mixed numbers is equal to 5/6.
