Answer:

The difference is \frac{3}{10}

Step-by-step explanation:

We must find the common denominator of the fractions.

The common denominator of \frac{1}{2} and \frac{1}{5} is 2*5=10; therefore we have

\frac{1}{2}=\frac{5}{10}

\frac{1}{5} =\frac{2}{10}

now it is easy to subtract \frac{5}{10} -\frac{2}{10} using the number line: we have to move \frac{3}{10} units to the left in order to get to \frac{2}{10}.

Thus our answer is

\boxed{\frac{1}{2} -\frac{1}{5}=\frac{3}{10} }
