Answer: 9 1/3 - 2/3 = 8 2/3 .
___________________________________
Note: If the answer were "8 1/3" ;
then: "8 1/3 + 2/3 =? 9 1/3 ? "
→ "8 1/3 + 2/3 = 8 3/3 = 8 + 1 = 9 = only "9" ;
____________________________________________
So the answer has to be MORE than "8 1/3"
Try "8 2/3" → "8 2/3 + 2/3 =? 9 1/3?" ?? ;
→ "8 2/3 + 2/3 = 8 4/3 = 8 + 1 1/3 = 9 1/3 " → Yes!
_________________________________________________
So, the answer is: "8 2/3" .

Another method:
_________________
Given the problem: "<span>9 1/3 - 2/3 " ;
___________________________________
Note that: "2/3 = 1/3 + 1/3"
__________________________________
So, "</span><span>9 1/3 - 2/3 = 9 1/3 - (1/3 + 1/3) = 9 1/3 - 1/3 - 1/3 = ?
________________________________________________
Start with: "</span>9 1/3 - 2/3" = 9. Then 9 - 1/3 = 8 3/3 - 1/3 = 8 2/3.
<span>______________________________________________________
</span>Another method:
____________________________
Given the problem:
____________________________
"9 1/3 - 2/3 = ?? " ;
____________________________
Convert "9 1/3" into "28/3" ; ("3*9 = 27"); ("27+1=28");
(The "3" comes from the "3" in the: "1/3" portion.)
_________________________________________________________
So, we rewrite as:
_____________________________________
28/3 - 2/3 = (28 - 2) / 3 = 26/3 ; or, 8 2/3 .
