Answer:

Explanation:

To subtract two fractions, we need a common denominator. The smallest number that 6 and 5 both divide into is 30.

Converting the fractions to have 30 as the denominator, we get:

5/6 = 25/30

2/5 = 12/30

Now we can subtract:

25/30 - 12/30 = 13/30

Therefore, 5/6 - 2/5 = 13/30 in simplest form.
