Find the difference between 8/15and - 2/3. Show all calculations in your final answer.

18/15

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the distance, you must first make sure the denominators of each fraction are the same. Therefore, we must divide the smaller denominator by the larger denominator. The answer is 5, so that means we multiply 2/3 by five. Now, our equation is 8/15 - (-10/15). Since two negatives make a positive, the final answer is 18/15.

To find the difference, make sure the denominators are the same.

Multiply - 2/3 by 5 which is - 10/15.

Two negatives make a positive so, the equation is 8/15 + 10/15.

8/15 + 10/15 = 18/15
