The answer is .1 as a decimal which is equal to 1/10.

This is because you have to find a common denominator which between 5 and 2 is 10. Then you multiply the top numbers out and subtract them like the problem is asking, and you get 1/10.

First you find a common denominator (5*2)=10.

Then you do 3*2=6 and then also 5*1=5.

Now you have 6/10-5/10

Then simplify..

Equals 1/10
