$$\frac{ 5 }{ 3 } - \frac{ 2 }{ 5 }$$

$\frac{19}{15}\approx 1.266666667$

Least common multiple of $3$ and $5$ is $15$. Convert $\frac{5}{3}$ and $\frac{2}{5}$ to fractions with denominator $15$.

$$\frac{25}{15}-\frac{6}{15}$$

Since $\frac{25}{15}$ and $\frac{6}{15}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{25-6}{15}$$

Subtract $6$ from $25$ to get $19$.

$$\frac{19}{15}$$

$\frac{19}{3 \cdot 5} = 1\frac{4}{15} = 1.2666666666666666$
