The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem \( \frac{2}{15} - \frac{7}{15} \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the denominators Both fractions have the same denominator, which is 15. ### Step 2: Subtract the numerators Since the denominators are the same, we can subtract the numerators directly: \[ 2 - 7 = -5 \] ### Step 3: Write the result over the common denominator Now, we place the result of the subtraction over the common denominator: \[ \frac{-5}{15} \] ### Step 4: Simplify the fraction To simplify \( \frac{-5}{15} \), we can divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD), which is 5: \[ \frac{-5 \div 5}{15 \div 5} = \frac{-1}{3} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the result of \( \frac{2}{15} - \frac{7}{15} \) is: \[ \frac{-1}{3} \] ---
