Answer

$=\frac{11}{18}$

Work Step by Step

$(\frac{5}{6}-\frac{1}{3}) \times \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{2} \div \frac{9}{8}$ $=(\frac{5}{6}-\frac{2}{6}) \times \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{2} \div \frac{9}{8}$ $=\frac{3}{6} \times \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{2} \div \frac{9}{8}$ $=\frac{3}{18} + (\frac{1}{2} \div \frac{9}{8})$ $=\frac{3}{18} + (\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{8}{9})$ $=\frac{3}{18} + \frac{8}{18}$ $=\frac{11}{18}$
