$$\frac{ 3 }{ 5 } - \frac{ 1 }{ 2 }$$

$\frac{1}{10}=0.1$

Least common multiple of $5$ and $2$ is $10$. Convert $\frac{3}{5}$ and $\frac{1}{2}$ to fractions with denominator $10$.

$$\frac{6}{10}-\frac{5}{10}$$

Since $\frac{6}{10}$ and $\frac{5}{10}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{6-5}{10}$$

Subtract $5$ from $6$ to get $1$.

$$\frac{1}{10}$$

$\frac{1}{2 \cdot 5} = 0.1$
