Answer:
1/15
Step-by-step explanation:
(1). <em>Multiply both the numerator and denominator of each fraction by the number that makes its denominator equal the LCD (Least Common Denominator). </em>
So lets do step one now, the LCD is 15 so we have to make both denominators agree on one number, so 15 is the number both denominators agree on.
Solve:
2*3/5*3 - 1*5/3*5
(2). <em>Complete the multiplication.</em>
6/15 - 5/15
(3). <em>The two fractions now have like denominators so you can subtract the numerators.</em>
6 - 5 / 15 - 15 = 1/15
*Pro tip:
<em>The denominator doesn't change and stays the same. So you don't </em>
<em>subtract the 15 by 15.</em>
(4). <em>Then you'll get the answer and then if you can simplify then simplify.</em>

The Answer is 1/15, and cannot be simplified.
So the answer is 1/15

One example is if you wanted to measure the height of a tall building. You'll need to measure the distance from where you're standing to the base of the building. You'll also need the angle of elevation. To get the angle of elevation, start by looking completely horizontal, then tilt upward until your eyeline reaches the top of the building. Once you have those two things (the side and angle) you can use the tangent ratio to find the height. This is because
tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent
where in this case
angle = angle of elevation
opposite = height of building
adjacent = distance from your position to the base of the building
It takes a bit of algebra, but the opposite side can be solved for. You'll most likely need a calculator to compute the tangent ratio.
