Question

Please help What is 2 2/3 - 4/5

Answer 1

Answer:

$1 \frac{13}{15}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two fractions and are being asked to subtract them.

Since 2 2/3 and 4/5 don't have the same denominator, we must use the LCM expression, which means to find the lowest common multiple. So what is the lowest multiple of 3 and 5, this would be 15.

$\frac{8*5}{3*5} - \frac{4*3}{5*3}$

$\frac{40}{15} - \frac{12}{15}$

Now subtract :

$\frac{28}{15}$

$1\frac{13}{15}$

Answer 2

Answer:

1 13/15 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

2*3 = 6

6+ 2 = 8

8/3 * 5 = 40/15

4/5 * 3 = 12/15

40-12 = 28

28/15 = 1 13/15
