First, we need to simplify the expression:
(2 1/6 - 2/3) * ( 1 - 7/15)
2 1/6 can be converted to an improper fraction: 13/6
(13/6 - 2/3) * (1 - 7/15)
To subtract fractions, we need a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 6.
(13/6 - 4/6) (15/15 - 7/15)(9/6) (8/15)(3/2) * (8/15)24/304/5
So, (2 1/6 - 2/3) * (1 - 7/15) = 4/5
Next, we need to compare 5/18 and 18%. To do this, we need to convert 18% to a fraction.
18% = 18/100 = 9/50
Now we compare 4/5 and 9/50. To do this, we find a common denominator, which in this case is 50.
4/5 = 40/50
40/50 > 9/50
Therefore, 5/18 is less than 18% (9/50) of students.

4/5
So, (2 1/6 - 2/3) * (1 - 7/15) = 4/5
