To estimate 5/8 - 1/10, we can find a common denominator and then subtract the fractions.
The least common denominator (LCD) for 8 and 10 is 40.
Converting 5/8 to have a denominator of 40:
5/8 = (5/8) * (5/5) = 25/40
Converting 1/10 to have a denominator of 40:
1/10 = (1/10) * (4/4) = 4/40
Now we can subtract the fractions:
25/40 - 4/40 = 21/40
Therefore, 5/8 - 1/10 is approximately equal to 21/40.
