9-5/6

To simplify the expression \( 9 - \frac{5}{6} \), first convert 9 into a fraction with the same denominator as \(\frac{5}{6}\):

\[ 9 = \frac{9 \times 6}{1 \times 6} = \frac{54}{6} \]

Now you can subtract:

\[ \frac{54}{6} - \frac{5}{6} = \frac{54 - 5}{6} = \frac{49}{6} \]

Therefore, \( 9 - \frac{5}{6} = \frac{49}{6} \).
