5 3/10

The rule is to subtract 1 2/10 each time

To figure this out, first look at the whole numbers

8, 7, 6, ___

You can see that your subtracting one to get to the next number.

Now look at the fractions.

9/10, 7/10, 1/2

To figure out the change you want all the fractions to have the same denominator.

1/2 = 5/10

9/10, 7/10, 5/10, ___

You can now also see that 2/10 is being subtracted each term.

Adding the two changes you get 1 + 2/10 = 1 2/10
