Compute the value of
4 1/6 - 2 5/6
= [ 4 + (1/6) ] - [ 2 + (5/6) ]
Rewrite those fractions as improper fractions:
= [ (6 * 4)/6 + (1/6) ] - [ (6 * 2)/6 + (5/6) ]
= [ 24/6 + 1/6 ] - [ 12/6 + 5/6 ]
Compute those sums in brackets:
= [ (24 + 1)/6 ] - [ (12 + 5)/6 ]
= 25/6 - 17/6
Now, just subtract the numerators:
= (25 - 17)/6
= 8/6
Express the result as a mixed number:
= (6 + 2)/6
= 6/6 + 2/6
= 1 2/6
Simplifying that fraction, you finally get
= 1 1/3 <---- this is your answer.
I hope this helps. =)

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The maximum number of pounds p is 224
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
p ----> the maximum number of pounds he can pull without going over the weight limit
we know that
121 pound of rock in the wheelbarrow plus p pounds must be at most 345 pounds
In this problem the word "at most" means "less than or equal to"
so
The inequality that represent this situation is
solve for p
subtract 121 both sides
therefore
The maximum number of pounds is 224
