The simplified answer would be 3/10.
To find that answer, you would have to take 1/2 and 1/5 and find the LCD, which happens to be 10. Then, you would take your denominator of 10 and make 1/2 and 1/5 into equivalent fractions with denominators of 10. You must multiply the numerator by the LCD divided by the denominator, Which turns 1/2 into 5/10 and 1/5 into 2/10. Then you subtract 5/10-2/10 which is 3/10. Then you would simplify but there is no GCM for 3 and 10, so there you have your answer!
minus one half
two and one half
15 and one half divided by 2 and one fifth = 7.5
One half is bigger.

6 and four fifth subtract by 3 and one fourth = 3
minus one half
One half minus one fifth is 3 tenths
seven fifteenths
It is 1/6.
One half of one fifth is one tenth. You just 'double' the denominator if you want to get half of the fraction.
two and one half
The term "a fifth" refers to one fifth of a gallon. One fifth of a gallon = 750ml. Therefore, a fifth of Hennessy = One 750ml bottle of Hennessy. :-)
15 and one half divided by 2 and one fifth = 7.5
