#3/10#

Explanation:

First of all, there are a couple ways of doing this. you can do it by just dividing 9 by 3 parts.
#9/10-:3/1=3/10#
or you can do it by flipping the second variable and make it
#9/10-:3/1=(9/10*1/3)=9/30#
Once you have this answer, you can then simplify the fraction and it will become
#3/10#
