Question

What is 4/5- 2/15?????

Answer 1

`(2)/(3)`

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by putting both fractions under a common denominator. Since one fraction already has 15 as a denominator and since 15/3=5, 15 will be our denominator:

`(4)/(5)*(3)/(3) =(12)/(15)`

Let's now combine the two fractions!

`(12)/(15) -(2)/(15) =(10)/(15)=(2)/(3)`

Answer 2

`(2)/(3)`

Explanation:

The given expression is

`(4)/(5)-(2)/(15)`

We need the find the value of above expression.

Denominator terms are 5 and 15.

LCM(5,15) = 15

Now we need to make common denominator, i.e., 15.

Multiply and divide the first term of the expression by 3.

`(4* 3)/(5* 3)-(2)/(15)`

`(12)/(15)-(2)/(15)`

On further simplification we get

`(12-2)/(15)`

`(10)/(15)`

Cancel out common factors.

`(2)/(3)`

Therefore the value of given expression is 2/3.
