Answer:

7/10

Explanation:

Step 1 : convert mixed fraction to improper fractions.

Step 2: Find Least common denominators.

Step 3 : Find equivalent fractions and subtract.


3(1)/(5)-2(1)/(2)= ((3*5)+1)/(5)-((2*2)+1)/(2)\\


= (16)/(5)-(5)/(2)\\\\=(16*2)/(5*2)-(5*5)/(2*5)\\\\=(32)/(10)-(25)/(10)\\\\= (32-25)/(10)\\\\= (7)/(10)
