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

The factors of 5 are 1, 5.
The factors of 3 are 1, 3.

The common denominator is 5 * 3 = 15.

Now we can convert the fractions to have the same denominator:

3/5 * 3/3 = 9/15
1/3 * 5/5 = 5/15

Now we can subtract:

9/15 - 5/15 = 4/15

Therefore, 3/5 - 1/3 = 4/15.
First write the subtraction with a common denominator.
Then subtract.
Apologies for the mistake in the previous response.

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

The factors of 5 are 1, 5.
The factors of 3 are 1, 3.

The common denominator is 5 * 3 = 15.

Now we can convert the fractions to have the same denominator:

(3/5) * (3/3) = 9/15
(1/3) * (5/5) = 5/15

Now subtract:

9/15 - 5/15 = (9 - 5) / 15 = 4/15

Therefore, 3/5 - 1/3 = 4/15.
Let's find 5/6 + 1/9
First write the addition with a common denominator.
Then add.
To add fractions, we need to find a common denominator.

The factors of 6 are 1, 2, 3, 6.
The factors of 9 are 1, 3, 9.

The common denominator is 6 * 9 = 54.

Now we can convert the fractions to have the same denominator:

(5/6) * (9/9) = 45/54
(1/9) * (6/6) = 6/54

Now add:

45/54 + 6/54 = (45 + 6) / 54 = 51/54

Therefore, 5/6 + 1/9 = 51/54.
Let's find 1/2 - 2/5
First write the subtraction with a common denominator.
Then subtract.
To subtract fractions, we need to find a common denominator.

The factors of 2 are 1, 2.
The factors of 5 are 1, 5.

The common denominator is 2 * 5 = 10.

Now we can convert the fractions to have the same denominator:

(1/2) * (5/5) = 5/10
(2/5) * (2/2) = 4/10

Now subtract:

5/10 - 4/10 = (5 - 4) / 10 = 1/10

Therefore, 1/2 - 2/5 = 1/10.
Let's find 2/5 + 1/3
First write the addition with a common denominator.
Then add.
To add fractions, we need to find a common denominator.

The factors of 5 are 1, 5.
The factors of 3 are 1, 3.

The common denominator is 5 * 3 = 15.

Now we can convert the fractions to have the same denominator:

(2/5) * (3/3) = 6/15
(1/3) * (5/5) = 5/15

Now add:

6/15 + 5/15 = (6 + 5) / 15 = 11/15

Therefore, 2/5 + 1/3 = 11/15.
