8 + 1/5 = 40/5 + 1/5 = 41/5

3 + 4/10 = 3 + 2/5 = 15/5 + 2/5 = 17/5

--------------------------------------------------------

(8+(1/5))-(3+(4/10))

=(41/5)-(17/5)

=24/5

=20/5 + 4/5 = 4 + 0.8 = 4.8

||\ 8(1)/(5)-3(4)/(10)\\-------------\\(4)/(10)=(4:2)/(10:2)=(2)/(5)\\-------------\\||\ 8(1)/(5)-3(2)/(5)=7(5+1)/(5)-3(2)/(5)=7(6)/(5)-3(2)/(5)\\-------------\\7-3=4\\(6)/(5)-(2)/(5)=(6-2)/(5)=(4)/(5)\\-------------\\||\ \boxed{=4(4)/(5)}
