Question

Please solve 15/24 -10/27

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Question:

The question is given below as

`(15)/(24)-(10)/(27)`

Step 1:

Reduce to the lowest term below as

`\begin{gathered} (15)/(24)-(10)/(27) \\ (5)/(8)-(10)/(27) \end{gathered}`

Step 2:

Find the L.C.M od 8 and 27

The L.C.M od 8 and 27 is

`216`

Step 3:

Solve the fraction using the L.C.M

`\begin{gathered} (5)/(8)-(10)/(27) \\ (5(27)-10(8))/(216) \\ (135-80)/(216) \\ =(55)/(216) \end{gathered}`

Hence,

The final answer is

`(55)/(216)`
