    Solution for the given fractions

    • 2/15 - 2/12 = ?
    • The common denominator of the two fractions is: 60
    • 2/15 = (2*4)/(4*15) = 8/60
    • 2/12 = (2*5)/(5*12) = 10/60
    • Fractions adjusted to a common denominator
    • 2/15 - 2/12 = 8/60 - 10/60
    • 8/60 - 10/60 = (8-10)/60
    • (8-10)/60 = -2/60
    • -2/60 = -1/30

    Solution for the given fractions

    $ \frac{2}{15 }-\frac{ 2}{12 }=? $

    The common denominator of the two fractions is: 60

    $ \frac{2}{15 }= \frac{(2*4)}{(4*15)} =\frac{ 8}{60} $

    $ \frac{2}{12 }= \frac{(2*5)}{(5*12)} =\frac{ 10}{60} $

    Fractions adjusted to a common denominator

    $ \frac{2}{15 }-\frac{ 2}{12 }=\frac{ 8}{60 }-\frac{ 10}{60} $

    $ \frac{8}{60 }-\frac{ 10}{60 }= \frac{(8-10)}{60} $

    $ \frac{(8-10)}{60 }= -\frac{2}{60} $

    $ -\frac{2}{60 }= -\frac{1}{30} $

    $ $
