D) 3 2/3
To subtract 8 1/6 - 4 5/6, we need to first subtract the whole numbers (8 - 4 = 4).
Next, we subtract the fractions.
1/6 - 5/6 = (1 - 5)/6 = -4/6 = -2/3
So the final answer is 4 - 2/3.
We can rewrite this as a mixed number by finding the whole number and the remaining fraction.
1/3 is bigger than the remaining fraction 2/3, so we can't simplify the fraction any further.
Therefore, the answer is 4 2/3.
The correct answer is A) 4 2/3.
