Under very specific instructions, a jeweler made one ring for the queen and one ring for the princess. The gem on the queen's ring weighed 5/6 of a carat and the stone on the princess's ring weighed 1/10 of a carat. How much heavier was the stone on the queen's ring than the stone on the princess's?

5/6 - 1/10 = 25/30 - 3/30 = 22/30 = 11/15
