No wonder you have trouble solving it. I can't even read that. Let's do it this way:
Shelly has a beaker that contains 5 and two-thirds fluid ounces of water.
She pours out 3 and one-third fluid ounces of water.
Which expression can be used to find the number of fluid ounces of water that remain in the beaker?
i) 5 and two-thirds minus 3 and one-third <<—— It's this one.
ii) 5 and two-thirds + 3 and one-third
iii) 3 and one-third minus 5 and two-thirds
iv) 5 and two-thirds minus (negative 3 and one-third)
