submit

Explanation:

Step1: Find a common denominator

The denominators are 10 and 2. The least common denominator is 10. Rewrite $\frac{1}{2}$ with denominator 10: $\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1\times5}{2\times5}=\frac{5}{10}$

Step2: Subtract the fractions

Now subtract $\frac{7}{10}-\frac{5}{10}=\frac{7 - 5}{10}=\frac{2}{10}$

Step3: Simplify the result

Simplify $\frac{2}{10}$ by dividing numerator and denominator by 2: $\frac{2\div2}{10\div2}=\frac{1}{5}$

Answer:

$\frac{1}{5}$
