    First you have to make both fractions have the same denominator, so you can multiply each fraction by the others denominator.

    5/8

    To

    (5*6) / (8*6)

    And

    1/6

    To

    (1*8) / (6*8)

    Now it's 6 30/48 - 2 8/48

    = 4 22/48

    Now reduce to

    = 4 11/24

    So, 4 11/24 is the answer
