Answer:

1 - 4/5-(-1/5)

Explanation:

1. - 4/5-(-1/5)

= -0.8+0.2 (if there is a minus sign inside and outside of the parenthesis, when we destroy that parenthesis, both the minus signs will be multiplied and becomes a (+).) (Making it to the percentile).

= -0.6

2. - 4/5-1/5

= -0.8-0.2

= -1

3. -(4/5+1/5)​

= -(0.8+ 0.2) (Making those to the percentile).

= -(1) = -1 (When we destroy the parenthesis, if there is a minus sign outside the parenthesis, the result will become a minus.)

From the above expressions, we can see that after calculating, the second and third expressions have the same value, i. e. -1. However, the result of the first expression is different, and we get -0.6. So option one is the right choice.
