6/15 which then can be simplified to 2/5
Two fifths is six fifteenths. Eleven fifteenths minus six fifteenths is five fifteenths, which is also one third.
One-third is the same as five-fifteenths. Two-fifths is the same as six-fifteenths. Five-fifteenths plus six-fifteenths is eleven-fifteenths. One, or fifteen-fifteenths, minus eleven-fifteenths is four-fifteenths.
Find the "common denominator". 2/5 is 6/15. So 1 fifteenth minus 6 fifteenths is minus 5 fifteenths , or minus one third
7
It is seven fifteenths.
8/15, 8 fifteenths
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.
1/3 x 2/5 = 2/15
3/5 minus 2/15 is 7/15.
3 and one third 3 and one third What is four minus two thirds??? 3 and 1/3rd 3 and 1/3rd 3 and 1/3rd
No five fifteenths is a third whereas two quarters is a half. So they aren't equal
two-thirds
