Step 1 [tex]4\frac{2}{5}-1\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
Step 2 [tex]4\frac{2*4}{5*4} - 1 \frac{1*5}{4*5}[/tex]
Step 3 [tex]4 \frac{8}{20} - 1 \frac{4}{20}[/tex]
Step 4a [tex]4 - 1 = 3[/tex]
Step 4b [tex]\frac{8}{20} - \frac{4}{20} = \frac{4:4}{20:4} = \frac{1}{5}[/tex]
Step 5 (final answer) [tex]3\frac{1}{5}[/tex]
