Answer:

6/10 and/or 3/5(this is the answer simplified

Explanation:

Subtract: 9/10 - 3/10

= 9 - 3/10

= 6/10

= 2 · 3/ 2 · 5

= 3/5

It is suitable to adjust both fractions to a common (equal, identical) denominator for adding, subtracting, and comparing fractions. The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of both denominators - LCM(10, 10) = 10. It is enough to find the common denominator (not necessarily the lowest) by multiplying the denominators: 10 × 10 = 100. In the following intermediate step, cancel by a common factor of 2 gives 3/5. In other words - nine tenths minus three tenths is three fifths.
