Answer:


(7)/(15)

Explanation:

The question is asking us to find the difference between 4/5 and 1/3.


(4)/(5) - (1)/(3)

First we have to determine the LCM which is 15.

LCM is obtained by multiplying 5 and 3 from the denominators.

Then proceed as follows


(4)/(5) - (1)/(3) = (12 - 5)/(15) \\ = (7)/(15)

The solution is therefore


(7)/(15)
