Two fifths = six fifteenths, two thirds = ten fifteenths...
Find the "common denominator". 2/5 is 6/15. So 1 fifteenth minus 6 fifteenths is minus 5 fifteenths , or minus one third
twelve fifteenths or four fifths
Two quarters minus two thirds is negative one sixth. Two quarters is six twelfths, and two thirds is eight twelfths. Six twelfths minus eight twelfths is minus two twelfths or minus one sixth.
10 2/3 - 7 4/5 = 2 13/15 or two and thirteen fifteenths. Expressed as a decimal, this is equal to 2.86 recurring (that is, 2.86666...)
2 4/5 - 13/15 Subtraction of fractiopns. Steps to take #1 ; Bring both numbers to (iproper) factions #2 ; Bring the denominators to a common value #3 ; Brinf the numerstors to an equivalent value #4 ; Subtract the numertors #5 ; Place the numerstors over the denominator #6 ; brinf back to a mixed number. Hence #1 ; 2 4/5 - 14/5 = 14/5 - 13/15 #2 ; 3 x 5 = 15 . So common denomontor is '15' #3 ; Equivalent numerators are 14 x 3 = 42 ' 13 remains unchanged #4 ; 42 - 13 = 29 #5 ; 29/15 #6 ; 1 14/15 The answer !!!! NB THe process for addition of fractions is exactly the same , except at step #4 , where the numertors are added.
Two fifths is six fifteenths. Eleven fifteenths minus six fifteenths is five fifteenths, which is also one third.
13/15 minus 2/3 is 1/5.

It is seven fifteenths.
Four and one third, thirteen over three, or 4.33
4 and 17/18
two thirds is greater because 0.6=three fifths so three fifths and two thirds could be simplified into nine fifteenths and two thirds could be simplified into ten fifteenths so ten is greater than nine so it is two thirds.
Two fifths = six fifteenths, two thirds = ten fifteenths...
two-thirds
One minus two thirds is one third.
