Step 1: Convert all fractions to have a common denominator of 6.
8 whole = 48/61/6 = 1/61 whole = 6/66 whole = 36/62/3 = 4/6
Step 2: Perform the calculation.
48/6 + 1/6 - 36/6 - 4/6= 48+1−36−448 + 1 - 36 - 448+1−36−4 / 6= 9 / 6= 3/2
Therefore, the answer is 3/2 or 1 1/2.

6 whole = 36/6
2/3 = 4/6
Step 2: Perform the calculation.
48/6 + 1/6 - 36/6 - 4/6
= 48+1−36−448 + 1 - 36 - 448+1−36−4 / 6
= 9 / 6
= 3/2
Therefore, the answer is 3/2 or 1 1/2.
