The expression in the image is a subtraction of two mixed numbers:

\[
3 \frac{4}{5} - 2 \frac{3}{5}
\]

### Step 1: Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions.

- For \(3 \frac{4}{5}\), the improper fraction is:
  \[
  \frac{(3 \times 5) + 4}{5} = \frac{15 + 4}{5} = \frac{19}{5}
  \]

- For \(2 \frac{3}{5}\), the improper fraction is:
  \[
  \frac{(2 \times 5) + 3}{5} = \frac{10 + 3}{5} = \frac{13}{5}
  \]

### Step 2: Subtract the improper fractions.

Since the denominators are the same, subtract the numerators directly:
\[
\frac{19}{5} - \frac{13}{5} = \frac{19 - 13}{5} = \frac{6}{5}
\]

### Step 3: Convert back to a mixed number, if needed.

\[
\frac{6}{5} = 1 \frac{1}{5}
\]

Thus, the result of the subtraction is:

\[
1 \frac{1}{5}
\]
