Okie, so you have an whole number subtracted by a fraction of a number. The way to approach this problem is to convert whole number to the LCD (least common denominator) of the fraction. In this case it would be 6.
6 would be 36/6 (same number just different form)
now just subtract the numerators over the denominator
(36-1)/6 = 35 / 6 is your answer as an improper fraction. As a mixed number, it would be 5 5/6.
I hope this helps :-)
