Answer:

5 1/2

Explanation:

9 3/5 - 4 1/10

First you need to get common denominator, as we see that we need to get the 5 from the 3/5 to ten, so we multiply 3/5 by 2 on both of the numerator and denominator and you will get 6/10. So the new fraction would be 9 6/10 - 4 1/10 = which would be subtractable. Therefore the answer would be 5 5/10 which equals

5 1/2
