Question
Find the difference:
$4\frac{3}{10}-1\frac{2}{15}$

Answer

We have,
$4\frac{3}{10}-1\frac{2}{15}$
$=\frac{43}{10}-\frac{17}{15}$
Taking out the $LCM$ of $10$ and $15,$ we get
$2 \times 3 \times 5 = 30$
Now, we convert the given fractions to equivalent fractions by marking the denominators $30$
$=\frac{43\times3}{10\times3}-\frac{17\times2}{15\times2}$
$=\frac{129-34}{30}$
$=\frac{129-34}{30}$
$=\frac{95}{30}$
$=\frac{19}{6}$
