Answer:


\boxed{ \ - (3)/(45) }

Explanation:

10 3/9 - 10 2/5

we need to convert mixed fractions to improper fractions


10 (3)/(9) = (10 * 9 + 3)/(9) = (93)/(9)


10 (2)/(5) = (10 * 5 + 2)/(5) = (52)/(5)

Now, we have 93/9 - 52/5

We need to equate the denominators, before subtracting them.


(93)/(9) - (52)/(5) = (93 * 5)/(45) - (52 * 9)/(45)


(465)/(45) - (468)/(45)


( - 3)/(45)


\boxed{ - (3)/(45) }

The result of 10 3/9- 10 2/5 is - 3/45
