Answer:
2[tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The easiest way to do this is to convert the numbers into improper fractions first.
[tex]5\frac{2}{6}[/tex] becomes [tex]\frac{32}{6}[/tex]
[tex]2\frac{4}{6}[/tex] becomes [tex]\frac{16}{6}[/tex]
Now subtract the numerators:
32/6 - 16/6 = 16/6
Now, we can convert back to a mixed number:
2[tex]\frac{4}{6}[/tex]
Lastly, we simplify our fraction:
[tex]2\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
