Cuz (10/1)-(5/3) are, obviously, two fractions.
-
10 = 30/3
30/3 - 5/3 = 25/3
30/3 - 5/3 = 25/3

The easiest way to do this is to make 10/1 and 5/3 with the same denominators. Let's make 10/1 with a denominator of 3. To do this, multiply the numerator and denominator both by 3, as 1 (denominator) times 3=3= the other fraction's denominator.
10*3= 30, so your new fraction is 30/3
Rewrite it: (30/3)-(5/3). Much simpler.
Subtract numerators; leave denominators alone since they are the same.
*The answer is 25/3, as 30-5 is 25. Hope I helped! :)
You can also convert each fraction into a decimal, then subtract, then convert your decimal answer into a fraction.
