Grant has 2 over 3 cup of ice cream in a bowl. He then removes two 1 over 6 cups of ice cream to share with his little brother. Which of the following best explains the amount of ice cream left in Grant's bowl?

2 over 6, because 2 over 3 minus 2 times 1 over 6 equals 2 over 3 minus 3 over 6
2 over 6, because 2 over 3 minus 2 times 1 over 6 equals 2 over 3 minus 2 over 6
1 over 6, because 2 over 3 minus 2 times 1 over 6 equals 2 over 3 minus 3 over 6
1 over 6, because 2 over 3 minus 2 times 1 over 6 equals 2 over 3 minus 2 over 6
