Answer 2

`12(4)-(12)(1)/(3) )`

Explanation:

`12(3(2)/(3))`

Lets add 1/3 and subtract 1/3

`3(2)/(3)=3+(2)/(3)+(1)/(3) - (1)/(3)`

`3+(3)/(3)-(1)/(3)`

`4 - (1)/(3)`. Now replace it in the given fraction

`12(3(2)/(3))`

`12(4-(1)/(3) )`

Distribute 12 inside the parenthesis

`12(4)-(12)(1)/(3) )`
