I'm guessing you mean to find the answer. So find a common denominator, which is 10. You can leave 7/10 alone. Now multiply by 5 on both the numerator and denominator of 1/2. It would be 5/10. Now subtract 7/10-5/10. The answer is 2/10. It can be simplified to 1/5. The answer now would be: 1/5 I hope this helps. :-)
