9 3/10, 3 8/10, 2 9/10

8/10 + 9/10 = 1 7/10

3+2+1 7/10 = 6 7/10

9 3/10 - 6 7/10 = 2 6/10

Ok so, first we have to turn these into improper fractions

9 3/10= 93/10
3 4/5= 19/5
2 9/10= 29/10

Ok so 19/5 + 29/10 is 67/10


67/10 - 93/10= 13/5.

13/5 or 2 3/5 is the answer, good luck, hope this helped, and STAY SMART! =p
