Step-by-step explanation:

the third answer.

5/6 is almost 1, 3/8 is almost 1/2, so their difference is close to 1 - 1/2 = 1/2.

and 19/24 is much bigger than 1/2 (which would be 12/24).

in real numbers

5/6 - 3/8 = 5×4/24 - 3×3/24 = 20/24 - 9/24 = 11/24.

which is indeed very close to 1/2 (or 12/24).
