1 answer

To find the difference between fractions, we need to find a common denominator. In this case, the least common multiple (LCM) of 15 and 3 is 15.

First, convert 13/15 to have a denominator of 15:

13/15 = (13/15) * (1/1) = 13/15

Next, convert 2/3 to have a denominator of 15:

2/3 = (2/3) * (5/5) = 10/15

Now, we can subtract the two fractions:

13/15 - 10/15 = (13 - 10)/15 = 3/15

Therefore, the difference between 13/15 and 2/3 is 3/15.
