Question

Subtract the following fractions. (Reduce answers to lowest terms.)
6/5-3/3 =

Answer 1

To subtract the fractions 6/5 and 3/3, we find a common denominator, subtract the numerators, and reduce the result to lowest terms. The final answer is 1/5.

Step-by-step explanation:

To subtract the fractions 6/5 and 3/3, we need to find a common denominator. In this case, the smallest common multiple of 5 and 3 is 15. So, we can rewrite the fractions as 18/15 and 15/15.

Next, we can subtract the numerators: 18 - 15 = 3.

So, the difference is 3/15. But we need to reduce this fraction to its lowest terms. The greatest common divisor of 3 and 15 is 3, so we can divide both the numerator and the denominator by 3 to get the final answer: 1/5.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

6/5 becomes 18/15
