Question
Evaluate the following: $\frac{2}{3}-\frac{3}{5} $
✓
Answer
$\frac{2}{3}-\frac{3}{5} $
$LCM$ of $3$ and $5$ is $15$ $\frac{2}{3}=\frac{2\times5}{3\times5}=\frac{10}{15}$
$\frac{3}{5}=\frac{3\times3}{5\times3}=\frac{9}{15}$
$\frac{2}{5}-\frac{3}{5}=\frac{10}{15}-\frac{9}{15}$
$=\frac{1}{15}$
$LCM$ of $3$ and $5$ is $15$ $\frac{2}{3}=\frac{2\times5}{3\times5}=\frac{10}{15}$
$\frac{3}{5}=\frac{3\times3}{5\times3}=\frac{9}{15}$
$\frac{2}{5}-\frac{3}{5}=\frac{10}{15}-\frac{9}{15}$
$=\frac{1}{15}$
