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

$\frac{3}{2}=1.5$

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

$$\frac{10}{6}-\frac{1}{6}$$

Since $\frac{10}{6}$ and $\frac{1}{6}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{10-1}{6}$$

Subtract $1$ from $10$ to get $9$.

$$\frac{9}{6}$$

Reduce the fraction $\frac{9}{6}$ to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out $3$.

$$\frac{3}{2}$$

$\frac{3}{2} = 1\frac{1}{2} = 1.5$
