1. \(\dfrac{-1}{7}-\dfrac{1}{8}=\dfrac{-8-7}{56}=\dfrac{-15}{56}.\)
2. \(\dfrac{15}{48}-\dfrac{5}{12}=\dfrac{5}{16}-\dfrac{5}{12}=-\dfrac{5}{48}.\)
3. \(\dfrac{-3}{15}-\left(\dfrac{-3}{25}\right)=\dfrac{-1}{5}+\dfrac{3}{25}=\dfrac{-2}{25}.\)
4. \(\dfrac{1}{15}-\dfrac{3}{5}=\dfrac{1-9}{15}=-\dfrac{8}{15}.\)
