2 (2)/(3) ~-~ 1(2)/(5)

Convert into improper fraction


(8)/(3) ~-~ (7)/(5)

Convert denominators into a same number


(40)/(15) ~-~ (21)/(15) =
(19)/(15)


(19)/(15) as a mixed number =
1 (4)/(15)

Final answer =
1 (4)/(15)

2 (2)/(3)-1 (2)/(5)=2 (2 * 5)/(3 * 5)-1 (2 * 3)/(5 * 3)=2 (10)/(15)-1 (6)/(15)=\boxed{1(4)/(15)}
