Answer:

3/40

Explanation:

To find the difference between 3/8 and 3/10 in simplest form, we need to have a common denominator. The least common multiple of 8 and 10 is 40.

So, we can rewrite 3/8 as 15/40 (multiply the numerator and denominator by 5) and 3/10 as 12/40 (multiply the numerator and denominator by 4).

Now, we can subtract these fractions: 15/40 - 12/40 = 3/40.

Therefore, the difference between 3/8 and 3/10 in simplest form is 3/40.
