so we have this fraction shown in the picture, the result must be 1/3 but it is not as the website that set that questions gives a totally different answer.

i don't really get it what's the correct answer for this fraction?

What don't you get? 1/3 (or 5/15) is correct. Where did the very bad 4/5 come from?
 
Feel free to disagree with given answers, but prove it before you take your show on the road.
 
I suspect the site has a typographical error, and the problem intended is

[MATH]\dfrac{18}{15} - \dfrac{2}{5} = \dfrac{4}{5}[/MATH].
