Answer 1

Here, it can be observed that $1 s t, 2 n d$ , and $3 r d$ circles are representing $5, 3,$ and $2$ shaded parts out of $5$ equal parts respectively.

Clearly, the fraction represented by $3 r d$ circle is the difference between the fractions represented by $1 s t$ and $2 n d$ circles.

Hence, $\frac{5}{5} - \frac{3}{5} = \frac{2}{5}$ .

Answer 2

Here, it can be observed that

1 s t, 2 n d

, and

3 r d

circles are representing

5, 3,

and

2

shaded parts out of

5

equal parts respectively.

Clearly, the fraction represented by

3 r d

circle is the difference between the fractions represented by

1 s t

and

2 n d

circles.

Hence,

\frac{5}{5} - \frac{3}{5} = \frac{2}{5}
