\[ \frac{5}{6} - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5 \]

The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{5}{6}\) and \(\frac{-1}{3}\) is \(6\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{5}{6} - \frac{1}{3} &= \frac{5 \cdot 1}{6 \cdot 1} + \frac{-1 \cdot 2}{3 \cdot 2} \\ &= \frac{5 + -2}{6} \\ &= \frac{3}{6} \\&= \frac{1}{2} \end{aligned} \]
