$$15.3- \frac{ 2 }{ 5 }$$

$14.9$

Convert decimal number $15.3$ to fraction $\frac{153}{10}$.

$$\frac{153}{10}-\frac{2}{5}$$

Least common multiple of $10$ and $5$ is $10$. Convert $\frac{153}{10}$ and $\frac{2}{5}$ to fractions with denominator $10$.

$$\frac{153}{10}-\frac{4}{10}$$

Since $\frac{153}{10}$ and $\frac{4}{10}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{153-4}{10}$$

Subtract $4$ from $153$ to get $149$.

$$\frac{149}{10}$$

$\frac{149}{2 \cdot 5} = 14\frac{9}{10} = 14.9$
