5/2 - 1/3 = 1/3y

I would convert the denominators to 6 to make this easier like this

15/6 - 2/6 = 2/6y

Now you can subtract easily like so

13/6 = 2/6y

Now divide

y = 13/6 divided by 2/6

To divide fractions do keep (numbers) change (sign) and flip (numbers)

y = 13/6 x 6/2

Now multiply:

78/12 = 6 1/2 = 6.5

y = 6.5 is your final answer!
