Solve the Fraction Equation: Finding the Missing Term in 2/5 - ? = 1/5

Complete the missing fraction
$\frac{2}{5}-_{——}=\frac{1}{5}$

What is the missing fraction?

To solve the problem $\frac{2}{5} - \_ = \frac{1}{5}$, we will use the concept of subtraction of fractions to find the missing fraction.

Let's follow these steps:

• Step 1: Identify the given fractions.
• Step 2: Use the subtraction identity to find the missing fraction.
• Step 3: Solve for the missing fraction.

Step 1: The initial fraction (minuend) is $\frac{2}{5}$ and the result (difference) is $\frac{1}{5}$.

Step 2: Apply the formula from our analysis: $\text{Minuend} - \text{Difference} = \text{Subtrahend}$. That means $\frac{2}{5} - \frac{1}{5} = \_$.

Step 3: Perform the subtraction by subtracting the numerators:

$\frac{2}{5} - \frac{1}{5} = \frac{2 - 1}{5} = \frac{1}{5}$.

Therefore, the missing fraction is $\frac{1}{5}$.
