I am not sure if what I am about to explain is correct but I hope it is somewhere along the correct path
To solve the problem use the following steps below....
Step 1: Take your numbers and place them in parentheses
(4-1/6)
Step 2: Turn your whole number,4, into a fraction
6/6=1
6/6x4=24/6
Step 3: Place your new fraction back into the problem
(24/6-1/6)
Step 4: Use the operation,subtraction, and minus 1/6 from 24/6
(23/6)
24/6 minus 1/6=23/6
Step 5(is optional): Turn 23/6 into a mixed fraction by dividing 23 by 6
23÷6= 3 5/6
Step 6(is optional): put your answer into a final statement
(4-1/6)=23/6=3 5/6
Answer: 3 5/6
I hope this helps and I apologize in advance if any false information was given.
