$= 2 \frac{19}{24}$ $=2 19/24$

$6 \frac{1}{8} - (5 - 1 \frac{2}{3})$ $6 1/8 -color(blue)((5-1 2/3))$ , we need to calculate the answer for the bracket.

YOu should be able to do this by inspection ...
Subtract 1 from 5, and then subtract $\frac{2}{3} from 4$ $2/3 " from " 4$

$5 - 1 \frac{2}{3} = 4 - \frac{2}{3} = 3 \frac{1}{3}$ $color(blue)(5 - 1 2/3 = 4-2/3 = 3 1/3)$

$6 \frac{1}{8} - 3 \frac{1}{3} \leftarrow$ $6 1/8 -3 1/3" "larr$ change to improper fractions

$= \frac{49}{8} - \frac{10}{3} \leftarrow$ $=49/8 -10/3" "larr$ find a common denominator

$= \frac{147 - 80}{24}$ $=(147-80)/24$

$= \frac{67}{24}$ $=67/24$

$= 2 \frac{19}{24}$ $=2 19/24$
