Question

What is 4/3 subtracted by 2/5

Answer 1

Find the common denominator first

3 - 3,6,9,12,15

5- 5,10,15

15 is the common denominator

( common denominator ÷ denominator ) × numerator = new numerator

( 15 ÷ 3 ) × 4 = 20

(15 ÷ 5 ) × 2 = 6

`(20)/(15) - (6)/(16) = (14)/(15)`

`(14)/(15)`

Answer 2

Here is you're answer:

In order to find the answer you have to find the common denominator and then subtract.

• 
  `(4)/(3) - (2)/(5)`
• Find the common denominator:
• 
  `CD = 15`
• 
  `4 - 2 = 2`
• 
  `=(2)/(15)`

Therefore you're answer is "2/15."

Hope this helps!
