Answer:

[tex]\frac{7}{15}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there !!!!

to find how much milk the person took we subtract  [tex]\frac{4}{5}- \frac{1}{3}[/tex]  :

[tex]\frac{4}{5}- \frac{1}{3}[/tex]

if we solve it :

The fractions have, unlike denominators. First, find the Least Common Denominator and rewrite the fractions with the common denominator.

LCD(4/5, 1/3) = 15

Multiply both the numerator and denominator of each fraction by the number that makes its denominator equal the LCD. This is basically multiplying each fraction by 1.

(4/5×3/3)−(1/3×5/5)=?

Complete the multiplication and the equation becomes

12/15−5/15=?

The two fractions now have like denominators so you can subtract the numerators.

Then:

12−5/15=7/15

This fraction cannot be reduced.

Therefore:

4/5 - 1/3 = 7/15
