\[ \frac{13}{6} - \frac{3}{8} = \frac{43}{24} = 1.791\overline{6} \]

The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{13}{6}\) and \(\frac{-3}{8}\) is \(24\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{13}{6} - \frac{3}{8} &= \frac{13 \cdot 4}{6 \cdot 4} + \frac{-3 \cdot 3}{8 \cdot 3} \\ &= \frac{52 + -9}{24} \\ &= \frac{43}{24} \end{aligned} \]
