Okie, so you have an whole number subtracted by a fraction of a number. The way to approach this problem is to convert whole number to the LCD (least common denominator) of the fraction. In this case it would be 6.
6 would be 36/6 (same number just different form)
now just subtract the numerators over the denominator
(36-1)/6 = 35 / 6 is your answer as an improper fraction. As a mixed number, it would be 5 5/6.
I hope this helps :-)

Let me put this in a simpler way

You convert 6 to 36/6 and the. Subtract 36/6 by 1/6 and 36 minus 1 = 35 so the answer would be 35/6 or 5 5/6

Answer:

$4x^{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$(\frac{192x^{12}}{3x^{3}} )^{\frac{1}{3}}$

Apply exponent rule of distribution:

$\frac{(192x^{12})^{\frac{1}{3}}}{(3x^{3})^{\frac{1}{3}}}$

Simplify the numerator:

$\\\\\frac{4 * 3^{\frac{1}{3}}x^{4}}{(3x^{3})^{\frac{1}{3}}}$

Simplify the denominator:

$\\\frac{4 * 3^{\frac{1}{3}}x^{4}}{3^\frac{1}{3}x}}$

Simplify:

$4x^{3}$

-> To explain this party since it is a bigger jump, $3^{\frac{1}{3}}x$ is on the top and the bottom, so it becomes a one. We are left with a four on the top, and using properties of exponents 4 - 1 = 3, explaining why we have $x^{3}$ leftover too.
