5 - 2 3/10 = 2 7/10 (two and 7 tenths)

5 - 2 3/10 = 2 7/10

Change the 5 to 4 10/10.

Subtract the whole numbers.

4-2=2

Subtract the numerators (top numbers) of the fractions, checking first to make sure they have common denominators (bottom numbers), which they do (both denominators are 10)

10-3=7

After subtracting the numerators, put that result on top of the common denominator.

7/10

Combine the whole number result with the fraction result.

2 7/10 or written as a decimal is 2.7
