Explanation:

Step1: Convert to common denominator

$\frac{3}{5} = \frac{3 \times 2}{5 \times 2} = \frac{6}{10}$

Step2: Subtract the fractions

$\frac{8}{10} - \frac{6}{10} = \frac{8 - 6}{10} = \frac{2}{10}$

Step3: Simplify the result

$\frac{2}{10} = \frac{1}{5}$

Answer:

$\frac{1}{5}$ (or $\frac{2}{10}$)
