Answer: 2/6 or 1/3
Step-by-step explanation: First you want to change the two fractions to improper fractions, so 2 1/6 will become 13/6 and 1 5/6 will become 11/6.
Using those improper fractions, you subtract the numerators since the denominators are the same, so 13 - 11 is 2 for the numberator.
2/6 can be simplified into 1/3 by dividing the numerator and denominator by 2.
