2. Cross multiplication method.

(5/6) - (4/11) using LCM Method:
What is 5/6 minus 4/11 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 5/6
Fraction B: 4/11

What to be found?
(5/6) - (4/11) = ?
Find what's the difference between 5/6 and 4/11.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 5/6 and 4/11 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 5/6 and 4/11 are not equal, it is said to be unlike fractions subtraction.

step 3For unlike fractions subtraction, find the LCM (least common multiple) of both denominators of fractions 5/6 and 4/11:
The LCM of 6 and 11 is 66.

step 4 Write the fractions 5/6 and 4/11 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 5/6 - 4/11
= [(5 x 66)/(6 x 66)] - [(4 x 66)/(11 x 66)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 55/66 - 24/66

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/66 x (55/1 - 24/1)
= 1/66 x (55 - 24)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/66 x 31
= 31/66
5/6 - 4/11 = 31/66

Hence,
5/6 minus 4/11 as a fraction is 31/66.
