$$\frac{3}{5}-\frac{1}{6}$$

$\frac{13}{30}\approx 0.433333333$

Least common multiple of $5$ and $6$ is $30$. Convert $\frac{3}{5}$ and $\frac{1}{6}$ to fractions with denominator $30$.

$$\frac{18}{30}-\frac{5}{30}$$

Since $\frac{18}{30}$ and $\frac{5}{30}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{18-5}{30}$$

Subtract $5$ from $18$ to get $13$.

$$\frac{13}{30}$$

$\frac{13}{2 \cdot 3 \cdot 5} = 0.43333333333333335$
