Answer:

13

_

30

Step-by-step explanation:

5                 2

_        -        _   This problem is a no go bc the denominators aren't the same.

6                 5

First you will need to find the common denominator. It is 30.

Next you will divide 30 by 6 and get 5. Now you know what to multiply the numerator by.

So, 6*5 is 30. 30 will now be your denominator. 5*5 is 25. 25 will be your numerator.

After you have done that you will move onto the fraction 2/5.

First, you will remember your common denominator, 30.

You will use that, and divide 30 by 5 and get 6. You now know what to multiply you numerator by. 2*6 is 12.

Your new problem looks like:

25                12                13

_         -        _                 _

30                30               30

13

_            Is in simplest form.

30
