Solve Fraction Subtraction: 3/5 minus 3/10 Step-by-Step

Let's try to find the lowest common denominator between 5 and 10

To find the lowest common denominator, we need to find a number that is divisible by both 5 and 10

In this case, the common denominator is 10

Now we'll multiply each fraction by the appropriate number to reach the denominator 10

We'll multiply the first fraction by 2

We'll multiply the second fraction by 1

$\frac{3\times2}{5\times2}-\frac{3\times1}{10\times1}=\frac{6}{10}-\frac{3}{10}$

Now let's subtract:

$\frac{6-3}{10}=\frac{3}{10}$
