$\frac{15}{5}$ -1
You asked:
Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{15}{5} - 1\)
MathBot Answer:
\[ \frac{15}{5} - 1 = 2 \]
The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{15}{5}\) and \(\frac{-1}{1}\) is \(5\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{15}{5} - 1 &= \frac{15 \cdot 1}{5 \cdot 1} + \frac{-1 \cdot 5}{1 \cdot 5} \\ &= \frac{15 + -5}{5} \\ &= \frac{10}{5} \\&= 2 \end{aligned} \]
