Answer:

\frac{10}{15}-\frac{2}{5}=\frac{4}{15}

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that

  • A fraction consists of two integers—one on the top, and one on the bottom.
  • The top one is numerator, the bottom one is denominator, and
  • These two numbers are separated by a line.

Let us consider two different fractions with different denominators

  • \frac{10}{15}
  • \frac{2}{5}

Lets subtract the two fractions

\frac{10}{15}-\frac{2}{5}\:\:\:\:

\mathrm{Cancel\:}\frac{10}{15}:\quad \frac{2}{3}

=\frac{2}{3}-\frac{2}{5}

\mathrm{Least\:Common\:Multiplier\:of\:}3,\:5:\quad 15

\mathrm{Adjust\:Fractions\:based\:on\:the\:LCM}

\mathrm{For}\:\frac{2}{3}:\:\mathrm{multiply\:the\:denominator\:and\:numerator\:by\:}\:5

\frac{2}{3}=\frac{2\cdot \:5}{3\cdot \:5}=\frac{10}{15}

\mathrm{For}\:\frac{2}{5}:\:\mathrm{multiply\:the\:denominator\:and\:numerator\:by\:}\:3

\frac{2}{5}=\frac{2\cdot \:3}{5\cdot \:3}=\frac{6}{15}

so

=\frac{10}{15}-\frac{6}{15}

\mathrm{Since\:the\:denominators\:are\:equal,\:combine\:the\:fractions}:\quad \frac{a}{c}\pm \frac{b}{c}=\frac{a\pm \:b}{c}

=\frac{10-6}{15}

\mathrm{Subtract\:the\:numbers:}\:10-6=4

=\frac{4}{15}

Therefore,

\frac{10}{15}-\frac{2}{5}=\frac{4}{15}

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST HURRY
Irina18 [472]

Answer: C

Step-by-step explanation:

To get all the constant terms on one side and variable terms on another, all we have to do is to add or subtract them on both sides.

3x+2x=10+5

Now that the like terms are on one side, we can combine them.

5x=15

To get x alone, we divide both sides by 5.

x=3

Now, we notice that x=3 is not an answer choice, but the next option that is equivalent to x=3 is C.

For C, if you divide both sides by -5, you still get x=3.

-15=-5x

x=3

Which equation has a constant of proportionality equal to 1? A. y=10/11x B. y= 7/8x C. y= 3/15x D. y=x
shtirl [24]

An equation is said to have a constant of proportionality if 'x' is a multiple of 'y' or 'y' is a multiple of 'x'.

Now, we have to determine an equation with constant of proportionality as '1'.

1. y = \frac{10}{11}x

This equation has constant of proportionality as '\frac{10}{11}'.

2. y = \frac{7}{8}x

This equation has constant of proportionality as '\frac{7}{8}'.

3. y = \frac{3}{15}x

This equation has constant of proportionality as '\frac{3}{15}'.

4. y = x

This equation has constant of proportionality as '1'.

Option D is the correct  answer.
