Question

What is 5/6 - 1/5 =​

Answer 1

Answer:

0.63333333333... or 19/30

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's how to subtract 1/5 from 5/6:

5/6-1/5

Step 1

We can't subtract two fractions with different denominators. So you need to get a common denominator. To do this, you'll multiply the denominators times each other... but the numerators have to change, too. They get multiplied by the other term's denominator.

So we multiply 5 by 5, and get 25.

Then we multiply 1 by 6, and get 6.

Next we give both terms new denominators ~ 6 × 5 = 30.

So now our fractions look like this:

25 /30  − 6 /30

Step 2

Since our denominators match, we can subtract the numerators.

25 − 6 = 19

So the answer is:  19 /30

Step 3

Last of all, we need to simplify the fraction, if possible. Can it be reduced to a simpler fraction?

No, we can't. Therefore the answer is 19/30, or in decimal form, 0.633333333.

Answer 2

5/6 - 1/5 = 19/30 = 0.633
