Solve 3/3-4/5+2/15

$$\frac{ 3 }{ 3 } - \frac{ 4 }{ 5 } + \frac{ 2 }{ 15 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{1}{3}\approx 0.333333333$$

Solution Steps

Divide 3 by 3 to get 1.

$$1-\frac{4}{5}+\frac{2}{15}$$

Convert 1 to fraction \frac{5}{5}.

$$\frac{5}{5}-\frac{4}{5}+\frac{2}{15}$$

Since \frac{5}{5} and \frac{4}{5} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{5-4}{5}+\frac{2}{15}$$

Subtract 4 from 5 to get 1.

$$\frac{1}{5}+\frac{2}{15}$$

Least common multiple of 5 and 15 is 15. Convert \frac{1}{5} and \frac{2}{15} to fractions with denominator 15.

$$\frac{3}{15}+\frac{2}{15}$$

Since \frac{3}{15} and \frac{2}{15} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{3+2}{15}$$

Add 3 and 2 to get 5.

$$\frac{5}{15}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{5}{15} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 5.

$$\frac{1}{3}$$

Factor

$$\frac{1}{3} = 0.3333333333333333$$
