That's what I did. In order to subtract, I changed 2 4/15 to its equivalent 1 19/15
1 19/15 - 10/15 = 1 9/15 = 1 3/5

Ok thanks. I understand now. 1 9/15. You have to 15/15 to get the 19/15

To subtract fractions, you need to have a common denominator. In this case, the denominators are already the same (both fractions have a denominator of 15), so you can subtract the numerators directly.
2 4/15 - 10/15 = (2 - 10) / 15 = -8/15
Therefore, 2 4/15 minus 10/15 equals -8/15.
