Question

What is the answer to 2/3 - 7/15=

Answer 1

Answer:

1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3 - 7/15

Now when dealing with fractions, alas make the dominator ( bottom number the same), and the rule of thumb is, whatever u do to the bottom, must be done to the top

2 7

-------- - - - - - -

3 15

So now u should think, how to make 3 to 15, so u multiply it by 5, therefore u would also need to multiply it to the top

2 x 5 7

-------- - - - - - -

3 x 5 15

10 7

-------- - - - - - -

15 15

Now just minus horizontally ( u don't need to minus the dominator)

3

---------

15

Now can u make this fraction smaller? As in, is there a number that u can divide to the top and bottom, yes, that number is 3 in this case

3 ÷3

---------

15 ÷3

= 1

- - - - -

5

Thats your final answer
