Quotient is the answer after you divide one number (dividend) by another (divisor).
In this question ##15## is the dividend.
Whereas, ##5/6## is the divisor.
Calculation:
##=15-:5/6##
Note that that the sign ##(-:)## could be change to ##(xx)## to make calculation easier, but in order to do that, ##5/6## must be inverted to ##6/5##.
That will make the calculation looks like;
##=15xx6/5##
We can simplify ##15## and ##5## to give us the final answer;
##=cancel(15)3xx6/(cancel(5)1)##
##=3xx6##
##=18##
