\(\large \color{blue}{ \bf 1- \frac{3}{15} }\) \(\large \color{blue}{ \bf \frac{15}{15}- \frac{3}{15} }\) \(\large \color{blue}{ \bf \frac{15-3}{15} }\) \(\large \color{blue}{ \bf \frac{15-3}{15} }\) \(\large \color{blue}{ \bf \frac{12}{15} }\) divide both top and bottom by 3 \(\large \color{blue}{ \bf \frac{4}{5} }\)
