Correct answer:

d =  1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} a=4{\displaystyle \frac{2}{3}}=4+{\displaystyle \frac{2}{3}}={\displaystyle \frac{4\cdot 3+2}{3}}={\displaystyle \frac{14}{3}}\doteq 4.6667 \\ b=3{\displaystyle \frac{1}{6}}=3+{\displaystyle \frac{1}{6}}={\displaystyle \frac{3\cdot 6+1}{6}}={\displaystyle \frac{19}{6}}\doteq 3.1667 \\ d=a-b=4.6667-3.1667={\displaystyle \frac{3}{2}}=1\frac{1}{2}=1.5 \end{gathered}$$
