Convert the mixed number to a top-heavy fraction. |
| Denominator = 6 |
The lowest common multiple of 3 and 6 is 6. Our denominator will be 6. |
| 5/3 becomes 10/6 |
Change 5/3 to 10/6 by multiplying above and below the line by 2. |
| 5/6 stays as 5/6 |
Keep 5/6 as 5/6. |
| = 10/6 - 5/6 |
Now we have fractions with the same denominator. |
| = 5/6 |
Keep the denominator 6. Subtract 5 from 10 to get the numerator 5. |
