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

$\frac{1}{6}\approx 0.166666667$

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

$$\frac{4}{6}-\frac{3}{6}$$

Since $\frac{4}{6}$ and $\frac{3}{6}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{4-3}{6}$$

Subtract $3$ from $4$ to get $1$.

$$\frac{1}{6}$$

$\frac{1}{2 \cdot 3} = 0.16666666666666666$
