    2 and one sixth, make the denominator into the same factor

    2 1/6

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Because the denominators are different, and there are whole numbers involved, then first make the fractions improper.

    4 1/2 - > 9/2

    6 2/3 - > 20/3

    Next, make the denominators the same by multiplying each fraction by the denominator of the other.

    9/2 * 3 = 27/6

    20/3 * 2 = 40/6

    Then you can subtract the numerators because the denominators are the same:

    40/6-27/6 = 13/6

    Then you can convert to a mixed fraction if need be.
