Subtract. Write your answer as a fraction or as a whole or mixed number. 2 4/5 – 1/5 =

To subtract the fractions, follow these steps:

1. Convert the mixed number (2 frac{4}{5}) into an improper fraction. To do this, multiply the whole number (2) by the denominator (5) and add the numerator (4):

[

2 times 5 + 4 = 10 + 4 = 14

]

So, (2 frac{4}{5} = frac{14}{5}).

2. Now, subtract ( frac{1}{5} ) from ( frac{14}{5} ):

[

frac{14}{5} – frac{1}{5} = frac{14 – 1}{5} = frac{13}{5}

]

3. Convert ( frac{13}{5} ) back to a mixed number if necessary. Divide 13 by 5:

– 5 goes into 13 two times, which gives 10, and there is a remainder of 3.
– So ( frac{13}{5} = 2 frac{3}{5} ).

The final answer is ( 2 frac{3}{5} ).
