What is 3/5 minus 1/10 as a fraction?
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 3/5
Fraction B: 1/10
What to be found?
3/5-1/10 = ?
Find what's the difference between 3/5 and 1/10.
step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 3/5 and 1/10 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 3/5 and 1/10 are not equal, it is said to be unlike fractions subtraction.

The LCM of 5 and 10 is 10.
step 4 Write the fractions 3/5 and 1/10 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
=3/5-1/10
=(3 x 10)/(5 x 10)-(1 x 10)/(10 x 10)
step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
=6/10-1/10
step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
=1/10 x (6/1-1/1)
=1/10 x (6 - 1)
step 7Simplify the above expression further:
=1/10 x 5
= 5/10
=1/2
3/5-1/10=1/2
Hence,
3/5 minus 1/10 equals to 1/2 in fraction.
