Answer 1

Answer:

8/30 (Simplified answer: 4/15)

Step-by-step explanation:

Find common denominators. Note the what you do to the denominator, you do to the numerator.

Multiply 10 to both the denominator & numerator of 2/3, and multiply 3 to both the denominator & numerator of 4/10

(10/10)(2/3) - (3/3)(4/10)

Simplify.

(20/30) - (12/30)

Simplify. Combine the terms

(20/30) - (12/30) = (20 - 12)/30 = 8/30

Simplify the fraction

(8/30)/(2/2) = 4/15
