2
2 2/5
-2 and 1/5
3 and 2/5
3/5 - 2/5 = 1/5
One whole minus two fifths is three fifths.
It is: 3 minus 3/5 = 2 and 2/5
3/5 minus 2/15 is 7/15.
3/5 - 2 is : -7/5
As these numbers have the same denominator (5), we can simply take off unit for unit: 5-2 = 3 1/5 - 3/5 = -2/5 So we get 3-2/5 which is 2 and 3/5 So the answer to 5 and one fifth minus 2 and three fifths is 2 and three fifths.
1 2/5
