Answer:
2 1/5 - 5/6 = 41/30
Explanation:
Turn the denominator to be the same because if the denominator is not the same so you can't subtract neither can you add.
Next find the least common multiple of both denominator (5, and 6) and ask yourself what time the denominator would give you the least common multiply you got.
1/5 x 6/6 = 6/30 and 5/6 x 5/5 = 25/30
Your expression now would be 2 6/30 - 25/30
You can't subtract 6 from 25 so you have to turn the proper fraction into a improper fraction
2 6/30 = 2 x 30 + 6 = 66/30. 25/30 = 0 x 0 + 25 = 25/30.
Your new expression would be:
66/30 - 25/30
Now you can subtract 66 - 25 and you get 41
Therefore the correct answer is 41/30 you can not simplify the answer because the numerator is a odd number and the denominator is a even number.
