10 - 4 2/3

First, we convert mixed fraction into improper fraction.

4 2/3 = ((4*3)+2)/3 = 14/3

In subtracting fractions:
1) Both must have the same denominator.
10 is 10/1 and 14/3 have different denominators. 

2) Once they have the same denominator, then subtraction may be performed.

10 - 14/3 = 10 * 3/3 - 14/3 = 30/3 - 14/3 = 16/3

3) 16/3 must be simplified.

16/3 = 5 1/3

10 - 4 2/3 = 5 1/3
