3 1/5 is your answer
To get it you have to first make sure both denominators are the same, then you can subtract 4-1 to get 3. Then you can do 3/5-2/5 to get 1/5.
So then after all that you get 3 1/5

Answer:


=3(1)/(5)

Explanation:

Subtract the whole numbers and then subtract the numerators since the denominators are the same.


4(3)/(5) -1(2)/(5)

4-1=3

3-2=1

=3(1)/(5)

I hope this helps.
