Answer:2/15

Explanation:

First, determine the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators 3 and 5. The LCM of 3 and 5 is 15.

Adjust both fractions to have the same denominator of 15:

1/3 becomes 5/15 (multiply numerator and denominator by 5).

1/5 remains as 3/15.

Subtract the numerators:

5/15 - 3/15 = 2/15.

Therefore, 1/3 - 1/5 = 2/15. In decimal form, this is approximately 0.1333333, which can be expressed as two fifteenths
