You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The first step is to find the lowest common denominator.
5 and 6 can both go into 30. So you would multiply by a fraction of 1. would multiplied by which is this will give you a fraction equivalent to but will have a denominator of 30.
Now multiply by .
This would give you which is equivalent to but has a denominator of 30.
now since they have the same denominator you can subtract them.
This is simplified so this is the answer.
