6/10 = 3/5
11 and 2/5 minus 2 and 3/5 = 8 and 4/5 or 8.8
3/8 minus 1/5 is 7/40
3/5 is the same as 6/10. 9 divided by 10 = 0.9 0.9 x 6 = 5.4 Therefore, 3/5 of 9 = 5.4 Answer: The above answer is incorrect. The question is what is 9 MINUS 3/5 not what is 3/5 of 9. Answer = Since three fifths is less than one then the problem "simplifies" to (1 minus 3/5) and add that result to 8 (since 9-1 is 8). Since there are five fifths (by definition) in 1 and 5-3 =2 then the answer is 2/5 plus the 8 we ignored = 8 and 2/5.
- 6 - 3 - 4 ÷ - 8 x 2 = -8
6/10 = 3/5
2/3 minus 6/5 is -8/15
One fifth is two tenths. 8 tenths minus 2 tenths is 6 tenths or 3 fifths.
7 fourths minus 8 fifths = -1
11 and 2/5 minus 2 and 3/5 = 8 and 4/5 or 8.8

11 and 2/5 minus 8 and 2/3 = = 41/15 or 2.73 ..... recurring 3
Call it 21 fifths minus 13 fifths, ie 8 fifths which is one-and-three-fifths
3/6 minus 2/8 is 1/4
8 and 3/6 minus 6 and 5/6 = 5/3
