To subtract mixed numbers, we need to find a common denominator. In this case, the denominators are already the same (5).
So, we can simply subtract the whole numbers and the fractions separately.
The whole numbers: 5 - 4 = 1
The fractions: 3/5 - 1/5 = 2/5
Therefore, the result of 5 3/5 - 4 1/5 is 1 2/5.
