The LCD of 4/5 and 2/3 is found by multiplying 5 x 3 gving 15.
4/5 = 12/15
2/3 = 10/15
12/15 - 10/15 = 2/15 (answer)
To solve the subtraction of fractions, you need to find the least common denominator (LCD) of the two fractions.
The LCD is the smallest multiple of both denominators.
In this case, the denominators are 5 and 3.
To find the LCD, you can find the least common multiple (LCM) of 5 and 3.
The LCM of 5 and 3 is 15.
To convert the fractions to have the same denominator, you need to multiply the numerator and denominator of each fraction by a value that makes the denominator equal to the LCD.
For 4/5, multiply both the numerator and denominator by 3, resulting in 12/15.
For 2/3, multiply both the numerator and denominator by 5, resulting in 10/15.
Now that the fractions have the same denominator, you can subtract them by subtracting the numerators while keeping the denominator the same.
12/15 - 10/15 = 2/15.
Therefore, the answer to 4/5 - 2/3 is 2/15.
