Question

1. find the difference. $\frac{1}{5}-\frac{1}{10}=\frac{\boxed{?}}{\boxed{?}}$

Explanation:

Step1: Get common denominator

Rewrite $\frac{1}{5}$ to match denominator 10:
$\frac{1}{5} = \frac{1\times2}{5\times2} = \frac{2}{10}$

Step2: Subtract the fractions

Subtract the numerators over common denominator:
$\frac{2}{10} - \frac{1}{10} = \frac{2-1}{10}$

Step3: Simplify the result

Calculate the numerator difference:
$\frac{2-1}{10} = \frac{1}{10}$
