What is B subtracted from A = A - B
4 2/3 subtracted from 5 1/5
= 5 1/5 - 4 2/3
= 5 + 1/5 - 4 - 2/3
= 1 + 1/5 - 2/3
= 15/15 + 3/15 - 10/15 =
= 8/15

Lowest common denominator of 3 and 5 is 15.
4 2/3 = 4 10/15
5 1/5 = 5 3/15 = 4 18/15
4 18/15 - 4 10/15 = 8/15

5 1/5 - 4 2/3 = 5 3/15 - 4 10/15 = 8/15
Find a common denominator and then subtract.
In this case, your Lowest Common Denominator (LCD) is 15.
Count out all factors of both numbers until you find one in common.
3-6-9-12-15
5-10-15
First one they have in common is 15, so the LCD is 15.

4 2/3 = 14/3
5 1/5 = 26/5
26/5 - 14/3
= (78 - 70)/15
= 8/15
