Question
Find the difference:
$4\frac{3}{10}-1\frac{2}{15}$
$4\frac{3}{10}-1\frac{2}{15}$
✓
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 × 3 × 5 = 30
Now, we convert the given fractions to equivalent fractions by marking the denominators 30
$=\frac{43\times3}{10\times3}-\frac{17\times2}{15\times2}$
$=\frac{129-34}{30}$
$=\frac{129-34}{30}$
$=\frac{95}{30}$
$=\frac{19}{6}$
$4\frac{3}{10}-1\frac{2}{15}$
$=\frac{43}{10}-\frac{17}{15}$

2 × 3 × 5 = 30
