∙ 2012-11-05 11:11:50One-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.
Two fifths is six fifteenths. Eleven fifteenths minus six fifteenths is five fifteenths, which is also one third.
