Answer:

simplified:
(3)/(5)

unsimplified:
(12)/(20)

Explanation:

Since the fractions have the same denominator, all we have to do is subtract the numbers in the numerator:

15 - 3 = 12

The difference of the two fractions is
(12)/(20). To simplify this answer, divide both the numerator and the denominator by 4:

12/4 = 3

20/4 = 5

The difference in simplified form is
(3)/(5).

I hope this helps. :)
