Answer 1

7/15

Explanation:

• First, find the common denominator
• Here it’s 5 * 3, which is 15
• You times 5 by 3 to get 15, so times the 4 by 3 as well to make sure that the fraction is equivalent
• 4/5 now becomes 12/15
• Now for 1/3
• You times 3 by 5, so times 1 by 5
• This gives 5/15
• Just subtract the numerators now since they now have the same denominator
• 12/15 - 5/15 = (12-5)/15 = 7/15
