$\bf \stackrel{\textit{Jack for 7 days}}{7\left( \cfrac{4}{5} \right)}\implies \cfrac{28}{5}~\hspace{10em}\stackrel{\textit{Jill for 7 days}}{7\left( \cfrac{2}{3} \right)}\implies \cfrac{14}{3}
\\\\[-0.35em]

\cfrac{28}{5}-\cfrac{14}{3}\implies \stackrel{\textit{LCD of 15}}{\cfrac{(3)28-(5)14}{15}}\implies \cfrac{84-70}{15}\implies \cfrac{14}{15}$
