Here’s why:

$\boxed{\text{Solving the Problem...}}\\\\2\frac{1}{2} -\frac{5}{3}\\\\----------------\\\rightarrow \text{LCM} (2,3): 6\\\\\rightarrow 2\frac{1}{2}=\frac{5}{2}=\frac{5*3}{2*3}=\frac{15}{6}\\\\\rightarrow \frac{5}{3}=\frac{5*2}{3*2} =\frac{10}{6}\\\\\\\rightarrow \frac{15}{6} - \frac{10}{6}\\\\\rightarrow \boxed{\frac{5}{6}}$
