Answer 3

you can change 5 1/3 to somthing/6 and you can change -3 9/18 to something/6, then you subtract the fractions

Answer 4

i do not know

Answer 5

change 1/3 to ?/6 => (2*1)/(2*3) => 2/6.
Now 6/6 is the same as 1, so if you have 5 (ones) you have (5*6)/6 = 30/6,
so 5 1/3 = 32/6,
now do the same for -3 9/18

Answer 6
