Question

What is 4/3 subtracted by 2/5

Answer 1

Find the common denominator first

3 - 3,6,9,12,15

5- 5,10,15

15 is the common denominator

( common denominator ÷ denominator ) × numerator = new numerator

( 15 ÷ 3 ) × 4 = 20

(15 ÷ 5 ) × 2 = 6

$\frac{20}{15} - \frac{6}{16} = \frac{14}{15}$

$\frac{14}{15}$

Answer 2

Here is you're answer:

In order to find the answer you have to find the common denominator and then subtract.

• $\frac{4}{3} - \frac{2}{5}$
• Find the common denominator:
• $CD = 15$
• $4 - 2 = 2$
• $=\frac{2}{15}$

Therefore you're answer is "2/15."

Hope this helps!
