Answer:
[tex]\frac{7}{15}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Hey there !!!!
to find how much milk the person took we subtract [tex]\frac{4}{5}- \frac{1}{3}[/tex] :
[tex]\frac{4}{5}- \frac{1}{3}[/tex]
if we solve it :
The fractions have, unlike denominators. First, find the Least Common Denominator and rewrite the fractions with the common denominator.
LCD(4/5, 1/3) = 15
Multiply both the numerator and denominator of each fraction by the number that makes its denominator equal the LCD. This is basically multiplying each fraction by 1.
(4/5×3/3)−(1/3×5/5)=?
Complete the multiplication and the equation becomes
12/15−5/15=?
The two fractions now have like denominators so you can subtract the numerators.
Then:
12−5/15=7/15
This fraction cannot be reduced.
Therefore:
4/5 - 1/3 = 7/15
