I have already sent the solution to your previous post, and if you haven't read it here it is again.

4 2/5 = 4 + 2 ∙ 2 / 2 ∙ 5 = 4 + 4 / 10 = 4 4/10 = 3 + 1 + 4/10 =

3 + 10 / 10 + 4 /10 = 3 + 14 / 10 = 3 14/10

4 2/5 - 1 7/10 = 3 14/10 - 1 7/10 = 3 - 1 + 14/10 - 7 /10 = 2 7/10

4 2/5-1 7/10 = 22/5-17/10 = 132/30-51/30 = 81/30 = 27/10 = 2 7/10.

Of course! I can help you with that problem.

To subtract mixed numbers like this, you'll need to convert them into improper fractions first.

The first step is to convert the mixed numbers into fractions:
4 2/5 = (4 * 5 + 2)/5 = 22/5
1 7/10 = (1 * 10 + 7)/10 = 17/10

Now you have 22/5 - 17/10.

To subtract the fractions, you need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple (LCM) of 5 and 10 is 10, so let's use 10 as the common denominator:

(22/5) * (2/2) = 44/10
(17/10) * (1/1) = 17/10

Now, you can subtract the fractions:
44/10 - 17/10 = (44 - 17)/10 = 27/10

However, a mixed number is often the preferred form for the answer.

To convert the improper fraction 27/10 into a mixed number, divide the numerator (27) by the denominator (10):
27 ÷ 10 = 2 remainder 7

Therefore, the answer is 2 7/10.

I hope this explanation helps you understand how to solve the problem.
