Turn 2 3/5 into an improper fraction, 13/5, then find a common denominator for 4/1 and 13/5. 4/1 would equal 20/5 and 13/5 stays the same. Now, subtract. 20/5-13/5= 7/5. Turn into a mixed number. 1 2/5 is your answer.

Put them both in fraction form so we have 20/5-13/5
Simplify that and you get 7/5, or 1 and 2/5
