Answer:

$\frac{1}{15}$ is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{4}{5} - \frac{11}{15}$

Change the denominators to 15.

$\frac{12}{15} - \frac{11}{15}$

12 - 11 = 1.

= $\frac{1}{15}$

Recall to always convert the mixed fractions to "improper" fractions first,

$\bf \stackrel{mixed}{9\frac{5}{12}}\implies \cfrac{9\cdot 12+5}{12}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{113}{12}}
\\\\\\
\stackrel{mixed}{3\frac{2}{3}}\implies \cfrac{3\cdot 3+2}{3}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{11}{3}}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\cfrac{113}{12}-\cfrac{11}{3}\impliedby \textit{clearly our LCD is 12}\implies \cfrac{113-(4)11}{12}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{113-44}{12}\implies \cfrac{69}{12}\implies 5\frac{9}{12}$
