To solve the expression \( \frac{5}{6} - \frac{1}{6} \):
You can subtract the numerators (the top numbers) because the denominators (the bottom numbers) are the same.
So, you have \( 5 - 1 \) for the numerators and the common denominator of 6:
\( \frac{5}{6} - \frac{1}{6} = \frac{5 - 1}{6} \)
Which simplifies to:
\( \frac{4}{6} \)
This can be further simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2:
\( \frac{4 \div 2}{6 \div 2} = \frac{2}{3} \)
Therefore:
\( \frac{5}{6} - \frac{1}{6} = \frac{2}{3} \)
