To subtract fractions, we need to have a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 32.So, ( \frac{15}{32} - \frac{3}{8} ) becomes:( \frac{15}{32} - \frac{12}{32} )Now we can subtract the numerators while keeping the common denominator:( \frac{15 - 12}{32} = \frac{3}{32} )So, ( \frac{15}{32} - \frac{3}{8} ) reduces to ( \frac{3}{32} ).
