To find out how much more baking powder Dana had yesterday, we need to subtract the amount she has now from the amount she had yesterday.

First, convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions.

5 2/3 = 17/3 (because 5*3 + 2 = 17)
1 1/2 = 3/2 (because 1*2 + 1 = 3)

Then subtract the smaller fraction from the larger one:

17/3 - 3/2 = 34/6 - 9/6 = 25/6

So, Dana had 25/6 or 4 1/6 boxes more baking powder yesterday.
