Answer:

4 1/2 - 1 8/10 = 2 7/10

Explanation:

Step 1 : Start by making the mixed fraction into improper fractions

4 1/2 = 9/2

(For the fraction 1 8/10, make sure to simplify 8/10!)

9/2 - 1 4/5 = 9/2 - 9/5

Step 2: Next find a common denominator for both the improper fractions.

9/2 x 5/5 = 45/10

9/5 x 2/2 = 18/10

45/10 - 18/10 = 27/10

Step 3: Now, make the improper fraction into a mixed number

27/10 = 2 7/10

So this shows us that 4 1/2 - 1 8/10 = 2 7/10! Hope this helps! :D
