Answer:

5/12

Explanation:

you need to find the largest common multiple of the denominators which comes from just multiplying 4x3 which gets you 12.then you multiply the top number by whatever you had to multiply the bottom number by to get 12. from there its 9-4 which gets you five. 5/12 can not be simplified any further

9/12-4/12=5/12
