Answer:

4 7/15

Explanation:

To subtract two fractions we need to have them have the same division by, which means the lower part of the fraction needs to be the same. To do that we would need to find a common denominator between 3 and 5, a number that can be both divided by 3 and 5. To figure common denominator for 5 and other nimbery just multiply the other number by 5: 3*5=15. so now we need to multiply both fractions by a number to get lower part to 15, so 4*3/5*3=12/15 and 1*5/3*5=5/15. Now we have 6 12/15 - 2 5/15 = 4 7/15.
