Answer:
3(7)/(10) or
(37)/(10)

Explanation:

Hey there! I will give the following steps, if you have any questions feel free to ask me in the comments below. Follow these steps I made for you.

Step 1: Convert
8(4)/(5) to an improper fraction. Use this rule:
a(b)/(c) = (ac + b)/(c).


(8 * 5 + 4)/(5) - 5(1)/(10)

Step 2: Simplify 8 × 5 to 40.


(40 + 4)/(5) - 5(1)/(10)

Step 3: Simplify 40 + 4 to 44.


(44)/(5) - 5(1)/(10)

Step 4: Convert
5(1)/(10) to an improper fraction. Use this rule
a(b)/(c) = (ac + b)/(c).


(44)/(5) - (50 * 10 + 1)/(10)

Step 5: Simplify 5 × 10 to 50.


(44)/(5) - (50 + 1)/(10)

Step 6: Simplify 50 + 1 to 51.


(44)/(5) - (51)/(10)

Step 7: Find the Least Common Denominator (LCD) of
(44)/(5), (51)/(10). In other words, find the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 5, 10.

LCD = 10

Step 8: Make the denominators the same as the LCD.


(44 * 2)/(5 * 2) - (51)/(10)

Step 9: Simplify. Denominators are now the same.


(88)/(10) - (51)/(10)

Step 10: Join the denominators.


(88- 51)/(10)

Step 11: Simplify.


(37)/(10)

Step 12: Convert to a mixed fraction.


3(7)/(10)

~I hope I helped you! :)~
