The difference between mixed numbers gives:
-5¹/₆ - (-8¹/₂) = 3¹/₃
So the correct option is the third one.
<h3 /><h3>How to get the difference between mixed numbers?</h3>
Here we want to compute the difference between two mixed numbers.
First, remember that we can rewrite those as:
-5¹/₆ = (-5 - 1/6)
-8¹/₂ = (-8 - 1/2)
Now, let's go to the difference:
-5¹/₆ - (-8¹/₂)
First you can see that there are two negative signs together, so it is equivalent to a positive sign:
-5¹/₆ - (-8¹/₂) = -5¹/₆ + 8¹/₂
Now we can replace the mixed numbers to get:
-5¹/₆ + 8¹/₂ = (-5 - 1/6) + (8 + 1/2) = (8 - 5) + (1/2 - 1/6) = (3 + 2/6) = 3 + 1/3
And that can be rewritten to:
3 + 1/3 = 3¹/₃
Which is completely simplified.
So we conclude that the correct option is the third one, counting from the top.

Let us compute first the probability of ending up an odd number when rolling a dice. A dice has faces with numbers 1 up to 6. The odd numbers within that is 3 (1, 3 and 5). Therefore, each dice has a probability of 3/6 or 1/2. Then, you use the repeated trials formula:
Probability = n!/r!(n-r)! * p^r * q^(n-r), where n is the number of tries (n=6), r is the number tries where you get an even number (r=0), p is the probability of having an even face and q is the probability of having an odd face.
Probability = 6!/0!(6!) * (1/2)^0 * (1/2)^6
Probability = 1/64
Therefore, the probability is 1/64 or 1.56%.
