Answer:

Explanation:

Step: 1: Convert mixed fraction to improepr fraction.

Step: 2 : Find the LCM of 4 , 5 = 20

Step 3: Find equivalent fractions with denominator as 20

Step 4: Now subtract.


3(1)/(4)-1(3)/(5)=(13)/(4)-(8)/(5)


\sf = (13*5)/(4*5)-(8*4)/(5*4)\\\\\\ = (65)/(20)-(32)/(20)\\\\\\ = (65-32)/(20)\\\\\\ = (33)/(20)\\\\ \\ = 1 (13)/(20)
