Q. Evaluate the expression shown below and write your answer as a fraction in simplest form.\newline115215 \frac{1}{15}-\frac{2}{15} \newlineAnswer:
  1. Identify like terms: Identify like terms. Both terms have the same denominator, which means they can be combined by subtracting the numerators.
  2. Subtract numerators: Subtract the numerators.\newline(115)(215)=(1215)(\frac{1}{15}) - (\frac{2}{15}) = (\frac{1 - 2}{15})
  3. Calculate difference: Calculate the difference.\newline12=11 - 2 = -1\newlineSo, (12)/(15)=(1)/(15)(1 - 2)/(15) = (-1)/(15)
  4. Simplify fraction: Simplify the fraction.\newlineThe fraction (1)/(15)(-1)/(15) is already in its simplest form.
