Solve Mixed Number Subtraction: 10½ - ½

Let's solve the problem step-by-step:

• Step 1: Identify the parts of the mixed number $10\frac{1}{2}$. It consists of the whole number $10$ and the fraction $\frac{1}{2}$.

• Step 2: We'll subtract $\frac{1}{2}$ (the fraction we are given to subtract) from the fraction part of the mixed number:

$\frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{2} = 0$

Step 3: After performing the subtraction, the fractional part becomes $0$.

Step 4: This leaves us with the whole part of the mixed number on its own, which is $10$.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $10$.
