Answer:
(7)/(6)-(4)/(5)=(35)/(30)-(24)/(30)\cdot(Option\text{ A)}

Explanations:

To evaluate a fractional expression using equivalent fractions:

Step 1: Find the LCM of the numbers in the denominator

Step 2: Multiply the numbers that will make the denominator to equal the LCM to both the numerator and the denominator

Applying these steps to the fractional expression given in this question:


\begin{gathered} (7)/(6)-(4)/(5) \\ \text{The LCM of 6 and 5 = 30} \\ \text{To ensure that the denominator of }(7)/(6)is\text{ 30, multiply the denominator} \\ \text{and the numerator by 5} \\ (7)/(6)=\text{ }(7*5)/(6*5)=\text{ }(35)/(30) \\ \text{To ensure that the denominator of }(4)/(5)is\text{ 30, multiply the denominator} \\ \text{and the numerator by 6} \\ (4)/(5)=\text{ }(4*6)/(5*6)=\text{ }(24)/(30) \end{gathered}

The fractional expression then becomes:


(7)/(6)-(4)/(5)=(35)/(30)-(24)/(30)
