$$\frac{ 5 }{ 3 } - \frac{ 2 }{ 4 } =$$

$\frac{7}{6}\approx 1.166666667$

Reduce the fraction $\frac{2}{4}$ to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out $2$.

$$\frac{5}{3}-\frac{1}{2}$$

Least common multiple of $3$ and $2$ is $6$. Convert $\frac{5}{3}$ and $\frac{1}{2}$ to fractions with denominator $6$.

$$\frac{10}{6}-\frac{3}{6}$$

Since $\frac{10}{6}$ and $\frac{3}{6}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{10-3}{6}$$

Subtract $3$ from $10$ to get $7$.

$$\frac{7}{6}$$

$\frac{7}{2 \cdot 3} = 1\frac{1}{6} = 1.1666666666666667$
