Replace "of" by "multiplied by" and continue...

I don't know how to begin to solve this problem.

Subtract 1/6 from 5/6 and multiply the result by 1/5.

Since there are no grouping symbols to indicate otherwise, I think one needs to follow the order of operations....

There's a multiplication (indicated by the "of"): 1/5 of 5/6

Do that first....

Then do the subtraction.

My opinion only, of course!
