Hi there!

I believe your answer is:

`3(4)/(5)`

Here’s why:

⸻⸻⸻⸻

`\boxed{\text{Calculating the answer...}}\\\\8(1)/(5)-4 (2)/(5)\\-------------\\\text{Converting the mixed numbers into improper fractions...}\\\\\rightarrow 8(1)/(5) =(41)/(5)\\\\\rightarrow 4(2)/(5)=(22)/(5) \\-------------\\(41)/(5) -(22)/(5)\\\\\rightarrow\boxed{ (19)/(5)}\\-------------\\\\text{5 would go into 19 3 times with 4 as the remainder.}\\\\(19)/(5)=\boxed{3(4)/(5)}\\-------------\\\text{\textbf{Therefore:}}\\\\`

`8(1)/(5)-4(2)/(5)=\boxed{3(4)/(5)}`
