To solve 11/18 - 1/3, we need to find a common denominator for the two fractions. The least common multiple of 18 and 3 is 18.
Keep the first fraction as is: 11/18.
To make the second fraction have a denominator of 18, multiply both the numerator and denominator by 6: (1/3) * (6/6) = 6/18.
Now, subtract the two fractions: 11/18 - 6/18 = (11 - 6)/18 = 5/18.
So the correct answer is 5/18.
