What is two and four fifths minus thirteen fifteenths?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

It is: 2 and 4/5 minus 13/15 = 1 and 14/15
