Question

calculate:
\frac{14}{15} - \frac{1}{5} = \frac{\square}{\square}

Explanation:

Step1: Find a common denominator

The denominators are 15 and 5. The least common denominator is 15. Rewrite \(\frac{1}{5}\) with denominator 15: \(\frac{1}{5}=\frac{1\times3}{5\times3}=\frac{3}{15}\)

Step2: Subtract the fractions

Now subtract \(\frac{14}{15}-\frac{3}{15}=\frac{14 - 3}{15}=\frac{11}{15}\)

Answer:

\(\frac{11}{15}\)
