[tex] \tt8 \frac{ 1 }{ 3 } -2 \frac{ 2 }{ 4 } = \frac{24+1}{3}-\frac{2\times 4+2}{4} [/tex]
[tex] \tt\frac{25}{3}-\frac{2\times 4+2}{4} = \frac{25}{3}-\frac{8+2}{4} = \frac{25}{3}-\frac{10}{4} [/tex]
[tex] \tt\frac{50}{6}-\frac{15}{6} = \frac{50-15}{6} = \frac{35}{6} [/tex]
[tex]\frac{5 \cdot 7}{2 \cdot 3} = 5\frac{5}{6} \approx 5.833333333[/tex]
therefore,8 1/3 - 2 2/4 = 5 5/6
