What is 2 2/3 - 4/5

Answer 1

`1 (13)/(15)`

Explanation:

We have two fractions and are being asked to subtract them.

Since 2 2/3 and 4/5 don't have the same denominator, we must use the LCM expression, which means to find the lowest common multiple. So what is the lowest multiple of 3 and 5, this would be 15.

`(8*5)/(3*5) - (4*3)/(5*3)`

`(40)/(15) - (12)/(15)`

Now subtract :

`(28)/(15)`

`1(13)/(15)`

Answer 2

1 13/15 yards

Explanation:

2*3 = 6

6+ 2 = 8

8/3 * 5 = 40/15

4/5 * 3 = 12/15

40-12 = 28

28/15 = 1 13/15
