$$9\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{3}$$

$\frac{55}{6}\approx 9.166666667$

Multiply $9$ and $2$ to get $18$.

$$\frac{18+1}{2}-\frac{1}{3}$$

Add $18$ and $1$ to get $19$.

$$\frac{19}{2}-\frac{1}{3}$$

Least common multiple of $2$ and $3$ is $6$. Convert $\frac{19}{2}$ and $\frac{1}{3}$ to fractions with denominator $6$.

$$\frac{57}{6}-\frac{2}{6}$$

Since $\frac{57}{6}$ and $\frac{2}{6}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{57-2}{6}$$

Subtract $2$ from $57$ to get $55$.

$$\frac{55}{6}$$

$\frac{5 \cdot 11}{2 \cdot 3} = 9\frac{1}{6} = 9.166666666666666$
