$$\frac{ 5 }{ 9 } - \frac{ 3 }{ 10 }$$

$\frac{23}{90}\approx 0.255555556$

Least common multiple of $9$ and $10$ is $90$. Convert $\frac{5}{9}$ and $\frac{3}{10}$ to fractions with denominator $90$.

$$\frac{50}{90}-\frac{27}{90}$$

Since $\frac{50}{90}$ and $\frac{27}{90}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{50-27}{90}$$

Subtract $27$ from $50$ to get $23$.

$$\frac{23}{90}$$

$\frac{23}{2 \cdot 3 ^ {2} \cdot 5} = 0.25555555555555554$
