Answer:

1 7/15

Explanation:

To solve this equation, we first need to find the least common denominator. In this case, the LCD of 3 and 5 is 15.

We can then convert our fractions to fifteenths.

Our new equation is 3 10/15 - 2 3/15.

From there, we can subtract normally and we get 1 7/15. We know that's in simplest form because 7 is a prime number
