    Give everything a common denominator, add/subtract the numerators and then reduce the result

    the answer is -1
    1/3 -5/6 -1/2 = -1
    first you need to get the common denominator so would read
    2/6 -5/6 -3/6
    2-5= -3-3= -6
    1. Numerator
    stays the same witch is 6 so it gives you
    -6/6 which equals -1

    Hope this helps!
