The difference between 4/5 and 2/3?

a) 2/15

b) 6/15

c) -2/15

d) -6/15

The correct answer is 2/15

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 4/5 and 2/3 are unlike fractions,in order to subtract them,we first find their equivalent fractions with same denominator.These are the equivalent fractions 8/15 and 10/15 respectively.

This is because 4/5 = 4/5×3/3 = 8/15 and 2/3×5/5 = 10/15.

Therefore, 4/5-2/3 = 8/15-10/15 = 10/15-8/15 = 2/15.

Note that 15 is the least common multiple or L.C.M

of 5 and 3

So, there is your answer with explanation.
