Answer 1

1/20

Explanation:

3/10 - 1/4

First, convert the fractions to a common denominator:

3/10 *2/2 = 6/20

1/4 * 5/5 = 5/20

Now put them back into the equation and solve:

6/20 - 5/20 = 1/20

Another way to do this:

3/10 - 1/4

Convert the fractions into decimals:

3/10 = 0.3

1/4 = 0.25

substitute back into the equation and solve:

0.3 - 0.25 = 0.05

convert back into fractions:

0.05 = 1/20
