You take the the amount of pizza Kara ate and subtract the amount Jason ate in order to find the difference. Since there is already a common denominator you can subtract the numerators instantly:

4/12 - 2/12 = 2/12 ; or we can simplify this to 1/6

"Addictive" comparison ? I think you meant additive comparison although we used subtraction.
