You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{4}{3} - \frac{6}{15}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ \frac{4}{3} - \frac{6}{15} = \frac{14}{15} = 0.9\overline{3} \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{4}{3}\) and \(\frac{-6}{15}\) is \(15\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{4}{3} - \frac{6}{15} &= \frac{4 \cdot 5}{3 \cdot 5} + \frac{-6 \cdot 1}{15 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{20 + -6}{15} \\ &= \frac{14}{15} \end{aligned} \]
