Answer:

1/15

Explanation:

1.) Make the denominator equal by turning the 5 into a 15 (In order to subtract it properly)

2.) Make the 2 correspond with the denominators. In this case multiply by 3 because 5 goes in to 15 3 times. Equation Now: 7/15 - 6/15

3.) Subtract the numerators to get your answers

4.) Final Answer: 1/15
