    1 2/3

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The denominators are the same, so we have to borrow from the 4

    Borrow 1 in the form 6/6

    3 + 6/6+3/6 - 2 5/6

    3 9/6 - 2 5/6

    1 4/6

    Simplify the fraction by dividing the top and bottom by 2

    1 2/3

    Step-by-step explanation: To subtract mixed numbers, first subtract the fractions.

    Notice here however that we have 3/6 - 5/6

    which will give us a negative fraction.

    Since this will cause us a lot of trouble, instead,

    let's rewrite the first mixed number.

    We can do this by thinking of 4 and 3/6 as 3 + 1 and 3/6

    or 3 + 9/6 by changing 1 and 3/6 to an improper fraction.

    So 4 and 3/6 can be written as 3 and 9/6.

    So we have 3 and 9/6 - 2 and 5/6.

    Now subtract the fractions.

    9/6 - 5/6 is 4/6.

    So we have 1 and 4/6 or 1 and 2/3.

    As an improper fraction, the answer is 5/3.
