Lucy used 2 1/3 kilograms of apples for her dessert.
Get the whole fraction.
3 2/3 = ((3*3) + 2) / 3 = 11/3
1 1/3 = ((3*1) + 1) / 3 = 4/3
Original weight of apples = 11/3
Remaining weight of apples = 4/3

Subtracting fractions:
Step 1. Make sure the denominator are the same
11/3 - 4/3
Step 2. Subtract the numerators and put the difference above the denominator
(11 - 4) / 3 = 7/3
Step 3. Simplify the fraction
7/3 = 2 1/3
