Answer:

3
(6)/(8)

Explanation:

Let's turn
(10)/(8) into a mixed number. Divide the numerator by the denominator.

10 ÷ 8 = 1 with a remainder of 2

Write down the whole number followed by the remainder over the denominator.


(10)/(8) = 1
(2)/(8)

Now subtract.

5 - 1 = 4

4 -
(2)/(8) = 3
(6)/(8)
