Solution

Simplifying the equation
We have, $\frac{3}{5} - \frac{6}{15}$ .
To solve the given equation we need to find L.C.M of denominators.
L.C.M of $5$ and $15 = 3 \times 5 = 15$ .
$\begin{array}{rcl} \frac{3}{5} - \frac{6}{15} & = & \frac{3 \times 3}{5 \times 3} - \frac{6 \times 1}{15 \times 1} \\ = & \frac{9}{15} - \frac{6}{15} \\ = & \frac{3}{15} \\ = & \frac{1}{5} \end{array}$
Hence, the final answer is $\frac{1}{5}$ .
