You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(1 - \frac{9}{15}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ 1 - \frac{9}{15} = \frac{2}{5} = 0.4 \]

The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{1}{1}\) and \(\frac{-9}{15}\) is \(15\). \[ \begin{aligned} 1 - \frac{9}{15} &= \frac{1 \cdot 15}{1 \cdot 15} + \frac{-9 \cdot 1}{15 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{15 + -9}{15} \\ &= \frac{6}{15} \\&= \frac{2}{5} \end{aligned} \]
