To subtract 2 and 2 fifths from 3 and 1 third, first convert both mixed numbers to improper fractions. 3 and 1 third becomes 10/3, and 2 and 2 fifths becomes 12/5. To subtract, find a common denominator (in this case, it's 15) and subtract the numerators: (10/3) - (12/5) = (50/15) - (36/15) = 14/15. So 3 and 1 third minus 2 and 2 fifths equals 14/15.
