Answer:

  76/165

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference of fractions can be found using the formula ...

  a/b -c/d = (ad -bc)/(bd)

Difference

Using the given values in the formula, we have ...

  [tex]\dfrac{8}{11}-\dfrac{4}{15}=\dfrac{8(15)-11(4)}{11\cdot15}=\dfrac{120-44}{165}=\boxed{\dfrac{76}{165}}[/tex]

Here, the difference fraction does not need to be reduced. Many calculators and spreadsheets can do this arithmetic for you.

The above formula can also be used for sums of fractions. In that case, the sign changes from minus to plus.
