$$\frac{7}{3}-\frac{1}{2}$$

$\frac{11}{6}\approx 1.833333333$

Least common multiple of $3$ and $2$ is $6$. Convert $\frac{7}{3}$ and $\frac{1}{2}$ to fractions with denominator $6$.

$$\frac{14}{6}-\frac{3}{6}$$

Since $\frac{14}{6}$ and $\frac{3}{6}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{14-3}{6}$$

Subtract $3$ from $14$ to get $11$.

$$\frac{11}{6}$$

$\frac{11}{2 \cdot 3} = 1\frac{5}{6} = 1.8333333333333333$
