Answer

Final Answer: $\boxed{3 \frac{4}{5}}$

Steps

Step 1 ：Subtract the whole numbers: 8 - 4 = 4

Step 2 ：Subtract the fractions: $\frac{1}{5} - \frac{2}{5} = -\frac{1}{5}$

Step 3 ：Since the fraction in the minuend is smaller than the fraction in the subtrahend, borrow 1 from the whole number part of the minuend and add it to the fraction part of the minuend: 4 - 1 = 3 and $-\frac{1}{5} + 1 = \frac{4}{5}$

Step 4 ：Final Answer: $\boxed{3 \frac{4}{5}}$
