8/10 - 3/5

Answer 1

In order to add or subtract fractions, we need to have a common denominator.

To find a common denominator, we can multiply the denominators together. In this case, the denominators are 10 and 5, so the common denominator is 10 * 5 = 50.

Now, we need to convert the fractions so they have the same denominator.

For 8/10, we multiply both the numerator and denominator by 5 to get 40/50.
For 3/5, we multiply both the numerator and denominator by 10 to get 30/50.

Now that both fractions have the same denominator, we can subtract them:

40/50 - 30/50 = (40 - 30)/50 = 10/50 = 1/5.

So 8/10 - 3/5 equals 1/5.
