In order to subtract fractions, we must find a common denominator, then subtract the numerators.
The common denominator (LCM(3, 5)) is 15.
We must multiply the first numerator by 5, because 3*5=15 and the second numerator by 3 because 5*3=15.
We get .
All we need to do now is subtract the numerators: .
The answer is 14/15.
