Question

$$\frac { 3 } { 5 } - \frac { 4 } { 15 } =$$

$\frac{1}{3}\approx 0.333333333$

Least common multiple of $5$ and $15$ is $15$. Convert $\frac{3}{5}$ and $\frac{4}{15}$ to fractions with denominator $15$.

$$\frac{9}{15}-\frac{4}{15}$$

Since $\frac{9}{15}$ and $\frac{4}{15}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{9-4}{15}$$

Subtract $4$ from $9$ to get $5$.

$$\frac{5}{15}$$

Reduce the fraction $\frac{5}{15}$ to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out $5$.

$$\frac{1}{3}$$

$\frac{1}{3} = 0.3333333333333333$
