Step 1: Subtract the whole numbers and the fractions separately

For the whole numbers: \(6 - 5 = 1\)
For the fractions: \(\frac{5}{11}-\frac{4}{11}=\frac{5 - 4}{11}=\frac{1}{11}\)

Combine the result of the whole numbers subtraction and the fractions subtraction. So we have \(1+\frac{1}{11}=1\frac{1}{11}\)

Answer:

\(1\frac{1}{11}\)
