1. Find the difference of the two fractions. The answer must be simplified. 14/15-2/3
Show your work:
To find the difference of the two fractions 14/15 and 2/3, we need to have a common denominator.
The common denominator for 15 and 3 is 15.
We then convert both fractions to have a denominator of 15:
14/15 = (14/15) * (1/1) = 14/15
2/3 = (2/3) * (5/5) = 10/15
Now that both fractions have a denominator of 15, we can subtract them:
