8/15-1/6

Let's calculate: $\frac{8}{15}-\frac{1}{6}$

ⓘ To add fractions, put them over the same denominator, then add the numerators. We choose $30$, the least common multiple of $15$ and $6$. Multiplying the numerator and the denominator by the same number does not change the fraction: $\frac{8}{15}-\frac{1}{6}$ = $\frac{8\times 2}{15\times 2}-\frac{1\times 5}{6\times 5}$ = $\frac{8\times 2-1\times 5}{15\times 2}$

$\frac{8\times 2-1\times 5}{15\times 2}$

ⓘ Multiplications are done before additions and subtractions: $8\times 2$ = $16$, $1\times 5$ = $5$

ⅰ $15\times 2$ = $(10+5)\times 2$ = $10\times 2+5\times 2$ = $20+10$ = $30$

$\frac{16-5}{30}$

ⓘ The numerator and the denominator are computed before the division: $16-5$ = $11$

▶Result:   $\frac{11}{30}$

The numeric value of: $\frac{11}{30}$ equals:

▷ $\approx 0.3667$
