Given:
2/5 - ⅓
Solution:
In order to subtract the given fraction, we simply need to find the LCD of the two fractions. In our case, the LCD of 5 and 3 is 15. Now we need to equate the values with 15 in their denominator. To do so, we multiply 2/5 by 3/3 and ⅓ by 5/5
= (2/5)(3/3)
= 6/15
= (⅓)(5/5)
= 5/15
Substract the values.
= 6/15 - 5/15
= 1/15
Final answer:
= 1/15
