Answer: 9/20

Explanation:

1) Find the Least Common Denominator (LCD) of 3/4 and 3/10. In other words, find the Least Common Multiple (LCM).

The LCM would be 20

2) Make the denominators the same as the LCD

3*5/4*5 - 3*2/10*2

3) Simplify

15/20 - 6/20

4) Now combine both fractions because they have the same denominator.

ANS= 9/20
