$$\frac{1}{5}-\frac{1}{2}($$

$-\frac{3}{10}=-0.3$

Least common multiple of $5$ and $2$ is $10$. Convert $\frac{1}{5}$ and $\frac{1}{2}$ to fractions with denominator $10$.

$$\frac{2}{10}-\frac{5}{10}$$

Since $\frac{2}{10}$ and $\frac{5}{10}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{2-5}{10}$$

Subtract $5$ from $2$ to get $-3$.

$$-\frac{3}{10}$$

$-\frac{3}{10} = -0.3$
