The complete question will be :

Q. Heidi grew her hair out for many years. Her hair was 1 1/3 of a meter long. She donated her hair by cutting off 5/6 of a meter. How long is Heidi's hair now?

Given:

Heidi's hair was $1\frac{1}{3}$ of a meter long i.e., $\frac{4}{3}$ of a meter

Heidi donated $\frac{5}{6} th$ of a meter

To find:

How long is Heidi's hair now

Solution:

Heidi's donated $\frac{5}{6}$ of a meter of her hair by cutting off from the original length of  $\frac{4}{3}$ of a meter

Therefore,

After cutting, the length of hair that she will be left with is,

$= \frac{4}{3} - \frac{5}{6}$

taking L.C.M of the denominator which will be 6

= $\frac{(4\:*\:2)\:-\:5 }{6}$

= $\frac{8\:-\:5}{6}$

= $\frac{3}{6}$

= $\frac{1}{2}$

Thus, Heidi's hair is $\frac{1}{2}$ of a meter long now.
