Can you also use the LCM of the denominators of the fractions to rewrite the difference 8/15-1/6? What is the difference?
Yes.
The least common multiple is 30
8/15 = 16/30
1/6 = 5/30
Yes because the difference would be 8/15 = 16/30 and 1/6 = 5/30 I think. I got some ideas from the other person's answer. I am not sure but this is my answer for now. Hope it helps! :)
Yes it is because the difference would be 8/15 = 16/30 and 1/6 = 5/30.

Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wait that was wrong.I was thinking of LCD.
Yes, you can use the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators to rewrite the difference of fractions. Here's how to do it:
Step 1: Find the LCM of the denominators.
The denominators of the fractions 8/15 and 1/6 are 15 and 6, respectively. To find the LCM, you can list the multiples of each number until you find a common multiple.
Multiples of 15: 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, ...
Multiples of 6: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60, ...
From the lists above, we can see that the least common multiple (LCM) of 15 and 6 is 30.
Step 2: Rewrite the fractions with a common denominator.
To rewrite the difference of fractions, you need to express both fractions with a common denominator, which is the LCM we found in step 1.
8/15 = (8 * 2)/(15 * 2) = 16/30
1/6 = (1 * 5)/(6 * 5) = 5/30
Step 3: Calculate the difference.
Now that both fractions have the same denominator, you can subtract them:
16/30 - 5/30 = (16 - 5)/30 = 11/30
Therefore, the difference between 8/15 and 1/6 is 11/30.
