Question 91782: 5/6 - 3/5

You can put this solution on YOUR website! 5/6 - 3/5
----------------
To add or subtract fractions they must have the same denominator:
The least common denominator for your fractions is 30. Rewrite
each fraction with 30 as its denominator:
[5*5/6*5] - [3*6/5*6]
25/30 - 18/30
-----------------
Now that they have the same denominator write the difference
of the numerators over the common denominator:
7/30
