Answer 2

Answer:

Option 4: $3\frac{3}{18}$ is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given fractions are mixed fractions. the mixed fractions have to be converted into proper fractions before performing any operation like addition, subtraction etc.

Given fractions are:

$5\frac{3}{6}-2\frac{1}{3}$

Converting into proper fractions

$=\frac{33}{6} - \frac{7}{3}$

Making the denominator same

We have to multiply first fraction by 3 and second by 6

$=\frac{33*3}{6*3} - \frac{7*6}{3*6}\\=\frac{99}{18}-\frac{42}{18}\\=\frac{99-42}{18}\\= \frac{57}{18}$

Converting into mixed fraction: $=3\frac{3}{18}$

Hence,

Option 4: $3\frac{3}{18}$ is the correct answer.
