$$-9\div6-\frac{1}{3}$$

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

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

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

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

$$-\frac{9}{6}-\frac{2}{6}$$

Since $-\frac{9}{6}$ and $\frac{2}{6}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{-9-2}{6}$$

Subtract $2$ from $-9$ to get $-11$.

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

$-\frac{11}{6} = -1\frac{5}{6} = -1.8333333333333333$
