First make the denominators the same 3/5 = 6/10

so its 7/10 - 6/10 = 1/10

You will have to find a common denominator which is 10 then you would leave the first fraction alone then you would do 5*2 and 3*2 and get 6/10 then subtract.

$\bf \textit{Amount for Exponential Decay using Half-Life} \\\\ A=P\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{\frac{t}{h}}\qquad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\ P=\textit{initial amount}\dotfill &100\\ t=\textit{elapsed time}\dotfill &20\\ h=\textit{half-life}\dotfill &20 \end{cases} \\\\\\ A=100\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{\frac{20}{20}}\implies A=100\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^1\implies A=50$
