To write 9/5 as a fraction with a common denominator, multiply by 3/3

9/5 x 3/3 - 1/3

To write −1/3 as a fraction with a common denominator, multiply by 5/5.

9/5 x 3/3−1/3 x 5/5

Write each expression with a common denominator of 15, by multiplying each by a factor of 1

Multiply 9/5 and 3/3

9 x 3/5 x 3 - 1/3 x 5/5

Multiply 5 by 3

9 x 3/15 − 1/3 x 5/5

Multiply 1/3 and 5/5

9 x 3/15 − 5/3 x 5

Multiply 3 by 5

9 x 3/15 − 5/15

Then combine the numerator over the common denominator

9 x 3 - 5 / 15

then simplify the numerator

mutiply 9 by 3

27 - 5/15

subtract 5 from 27

22/15
