Oh no! I've logged in and it seems that I've caught the cold! wink

 

So, Guest, let's solve this step by step.

 

First, find the LCD (least common denominator) of each fraction, which in this case is 10.

 

7/10 = 7/10

 

1/2 = 5/10

 

Now we have...

 

7/10 - 5/10

 

This equals 2/10, which simplifies to 1/5.

 

Therefore, 7/10 - 1/2 = 1/5.

 

This answer cannot be an improper fraction or mixed number...

 

Maybe you could elaborate?

 

Thanks!
