1. Problem Description

The problem is to evaluate the expression 12113+216\frac{1}{2} - 1\frac{1}{3} + 2\frac{1}{6}.

2. Solution Steps

First, convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions.
113=13+13=3+13=431\frac{1}{3} = \frac{1 \cdot 3 + 1}{3} = \frac{3+1}{3} = \frac{4}{3}
216=26+16=12+16=1362\frac{1}{6} = \frac{2 \cdot 6 + 1}{6} = \frac{12+1}{6} = \frac{13}{6}
Now, the expression becomes 1243+136\frac{1}{2} - \frac{4}{3} + \frac{13}{6}.
To add or subtract fractions, we need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple of 2, 3, and 6 is

6. So we convert each fraction to have a denominator of

6. $\frac{1}{2} = \frac{1 \cdot 3}{2 \cdot 3} = \frac{3}{6}$

43=4232=86\frac{4}{3} = \frac{4 \cdot 2}{3 \cdot 2} = \frac{8}{6}
136\frac{13}{6} remains the same.
Now the expression is 3686+136\frac{3}{6} - \frac{8}{6} + \frac{13}{6}.
Combine the fractions: 38+136=5+136=86\frac{3-8+13}{6} = \frac{-5+13}{6} = \frac{8}{6}.
Simplify the fraction: 86=43\frac{8}{6} = \frac{4}{3}.
Convert the improper fraction to a mixed number: 43=113\frac{4}{3} = 1\frac{1}{3}.

3. Final Answer

1131\frac{1}{3}
