Answer:  9/10

This is because 1 - (1/10) = (10/10) - (1/10) = 9/10

Think of a pizza divided into 10 slices. If someone eats 1 slice, then there are 10-1 = 9 slices left to represent 9/10

when you lose 1/10 of something, you are left with 9/10 of the original amount

10 - 1 = 9

in terms of fractions, the original amount can be represented as 10/10... if you lose 1/10, it means you subtract 1/10 from the original fraction

10/10 - 1/10 = 9/10

so when you lose 1/10 of something, you have 9/10 left
