Answer:

11 / 20

Step-by-step explanation:

3/4 - 1/5

You cannot perform this if you have two different denominator.

So multiply both pairs with each other's denominator.

3 × 5 = 15        1 × 4 = 4

4 × 5 = 20       5 × 4 = 20

Now we can perform subtraction.

15/20 - 4/20

15 - 4 = 11

11 / 20
