Verified Answer :

To solve is:

\(1 \frac{1}{4} - 1 \frac{1}{5}\)

making it into an improper fraction:

\(\frac{1+4}{4} - \frac{1+5}{5}\)


\(\frac{5}{4} - \frac{6}{5}\)

bringing to a common denominator (which is 20, since they have no factors in common)

\(\frac{5*5}{20} - \frac{6*4}{20}\)


\(\frac{25}{20} - \frac{24}{20}\)

the answer is then:
\(\frac{1}{20}\)
