Answer: 1/2

Explanation: To subtract unlike fractions such as 4/5 - 3/10, first find a common denominator.

The common denominator of 5 and 10 is the

least common multiple of 5 and 10 which is 10.

To get a 10 in the denominator of 4/5, we multiply both the numerator and the denominator of 4/5 by 2 to get the equivalent fraction 8/10.

Notice that 3/10 already has a 10 in the

denominator so it stays the same.

So we have 8/10 - 3/10 which is 5/10.

5/10 can be simplified to 1/2.

Answer:

4/5 - 3/10 is 0.5.

Explanation:

You want to divide top and bottom (Whatever you do to one side do to the other) So start off dividing 5 by 10 which wil give you 0.5, next you want to divide 4 by 3 which gives a repeating decimal so youll use the whole decimal (0.5) as an answer
