6 11 / 15

Explanation:

To simplify the calculation you first turn the left hand fraction into an improper fraction:

6 9/10 = 69 / 10

Then for the subtraction give both fractions the same denominator of 60 (i.e. multiply left hand fraction numerator and denominator by 6 and right hand fraction numerator and denominator by 10).

69/ 10 - 1/6 = 414 / 60 - 10 / 60 = 404 / 60

This can be further simplified to a proper fraction:

404 / 60 = 202 / 30 = 6 22/30 = 6 11 / 15
