  1. 5 5/6-(4 5/6)=1


  2. First change everything to mixed numbers with the denominators the same so:

    35/6 - (10/3 + 3/2) ----> 35/6 - (20/6 + 9/6)

    Then you add/subtract the top numbers like normally would and get the answer :

    24/6 or 4/1 or 4


  3. 5 + 5/6 - (3 + 1 + 2/6 + 3/6)

    5 - 4  + 5/6 - 5/6

    1

  4. 5 5/6-3 1/3-1 1/2

    use 6 as the lcd

    5 5/6-3 2/6-1 3/6

    5 5/6-4 5/6=1

  5. step by step process

    1- first change it into mixed no from

    35/6-(10/3+3/2)

    2- then first solve the brackets by taking lcm (which is 6)

    35/6-((20+9)/6)

    3. now u get

    35/6-29/6

    by solving with lcm 6 u get

    6/6

    ans will be 1
