Full solution

Q. Subtract.\newline31015=\frac{3}{10} - \frac{1}{5} = _____
  1. Convert Fractions: Convert the fractions to have a common denominator.\newline31015\frac{3}{10} - \frac{1}{5}\newlineSince the least common denominator for 1010 and 55 is 1010, we need to convert 15\frac{1}{5} to a fraction with a denominator of 1010.\newline15=(1×2)(5×2)=210\frac{1}{5} = \frac{(1\times2)}{(5\times2)} = \frac{2}{10}\newlineNow we can rewrite the subtraction as:\newline310210\frac{3}{10} - \frac{2}{10}
  2. Subtract Numerators: Subtract the numerators and keep the common denominator.\newline310210=(32)10\frac{3}{10} - \frac{2}{10} = \frac{(3-2)}{10}\newline32=13-2 = 1\newlineSo the subtraction gives us:\newline110\frac{1}{10}
