Subtract fractions with different denominators

Tems11 [23]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

$=\frac{4}{15}$

Therefore,

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