Solve the Fraction Subtraction: 5/10 - 1/6

$\frac{5}{10}-\frac{1}{6}=$

Let's try to find the lowest common multiple between 6 and 10

To find the lowest common multiple, we need to find a number that is divisible by both 6 and 10

In this case, the lowest common multiple is 30

Now let's multiply each number by an appropriate factor to reach the multiple of 30

We will multiply the first number by 3

We will multiply the second number by 5

$\frac{5\times3}{10\times3}-\frac{1\times5}{6\times5}=\frac{15}{30}-\frac{5}{30}$

Now let's subtract:

$\frac{15-5}{30}=\frac{10}{30}$
