Answer:
[tex] \boxed{ \ - \frac{3}{45} }[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
10 3/9 - 10 2/5
we need to convert mixed fractions to improper fractions
[tex]10 \frac{3}{9} = \frac{10 \times 9 + 3}{9} = \frac{93}{9} [/tex]
[tex]10 \frac{2}{5} = \frac{10 \times 5 + 2}{5} = \frac{52}{5} [/tex]
Now, we have 93/9 - 52/5
We need to equate the denominators, before subtracting them.
[tex] \frac{93}{9} - \frac{52}{5} = \frac{93 \times 5}{45} - \frac{52 \times 9}{45} [/tex]
[tex] \frac{465}{45} - \frac{468}{45} [/tex]
[tex] \frac{ - 3}{45} [/tex]
[tex] \boxed{ - \frac{3}{45} }[/tex]
The result of 10 3/9- 10 2/5 is - 3/45
