2/5 - 1/3

Answer 1

To subtract these two fractions, we need to find a common denominator.

The least common multiple of 5 and 3 is 15.

So, we rewrite the fractions with the common denominator of 15:

2/5 = 6/15
1/3 = 5/15

Now we can subtract the fractions:

6/15 - 5/15 = 1/15

Therefore, 2/5 - 1/3 = 1/15.
