Solve the Fraction Subtraction: 3/5 minus 3/10

To solve the problem $\frac{3}{5} - \frac{3}{10}$, follow these steps:

• Step 1: Find the common denominator:

The denominators are 5 and 10. The least common multiple (LCM) of 5 and 10 is 10, so our common denominator is 10.

• Step 2: Convert each fraction to have the common denominator:

Convert $\frac{3}{5}$ to a fraction with a denominator of 10:

Multiply both the numerator and denominator of $\frac{3}{5}$ by 2 to get $\frac{6}{10}$.

Note: $\frac{3}{10}$ already has the common denominator of 10, so it remains unchanged.

• Step 3: Perform the subtraction:

Subtract $\frac{3}{10}$ from $\frac{6}{10}$:

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

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $\frac{3}{10}$.
