Michaela Kaiser · Answer 1

13/30

Step-by-step:

First, you find the common denominator, which is 30. For the first fraction, multiply the bottom by five. Since you do that, you have to multiple the top by 5 as well, giving you 25/30. For the second problem, you multiple the top and bottom by six giving you 12/30. 25 minus 12 is 13 so you get 13/30.
