To subtract fractions, you need a common denominator. To find the common denominator between 10 and 5, you can use the least common multiple (LCM) of both denominators, which is 10.
Now, let's convert the fractions with the common denominator of 10:
7/10 - 3/5 = (7/10) - (6/10)
Since the denominators are the same, you can subtract the numerators directly:
= (7 - 6)/10
= 1/10
Therefore, 7/10 - 3/5 = 1/10.
7/10-3/5
