4 3
5 10
Firstly you need to make the denominator (the bottom number) equal. You should be able to see, that 5 can be multiplied by 2 to get 10.
However, you MUST remember, whatever you do to the bottom, you must do to the top.
So when you multiply the denominator 5 by 2 to equal 10, you must also multiply the nominator 4, by 2 as well to get 8.
This gives the fractions:
8 3
10 10
When the denominator is the same, you can simply subtract the nominators, so you would do 8 - 3 which equals 5.
Here the denominator (10) does not change so this would leave you with,
5
10
You should then simplify this into the simplest form. You know that 5 goes into 10 (by multiplying by 2) so by dividing both the nominator (5) and denominator (10) by 5, you get the final answer:
1
2
I hope this helped, I did not know how much detail you wanted through the stages, so I hope that this was enough. :)
one fifth
four fifths is equal to eight tents, so three tenths plus eight tenths is eleven tenths, or one and one tenth
eight-tenths
Well, honey, of course, four fifths is greater than three tenths. It's like asking if a fancy steak dinner is better than a sad little salad - no contest. Four fifths is equivalent to 0.8, while three tenths is 0.3. So, yes, four fifths wins this math showdown.
Assuming that you mean "fifths", the answer is three fifths.

Negative 5 and three tenths.
1 1/2
The difference is 1 and one half.

Twenty four fifths is four and four fifths. So if you take three away, that leaves one and four fifths.
4/5 minus 7/10 = 1/10

The answer is actually 3 fifths. This is because if you double the bottom to equal 10 you have to double the top leaving it 6 tenths which is grater than four tenths.
