Easy, first find a common denominator,
5: 5,10,15
3: 3,6,9,12,15
The common denominator is 15.
\(\frac{12}{5}\)
-
\(\frac{2}{3}\)
changes into
\(\frac{12}{5}* \frac{3}{3}= \frac{36}{15}\)
and
\(\frac{2}{3}* \frac{5}{5} = \frac{10}{15}\)
Now you can subtract.
\(\frac{36}{15}- \frac{10}{15}= \frac{26}{15}\)
Thus, \(\frac{26}{15}\) or 1 11/15 is your answer.
