2/3 - 8/12 =
First you change the both denominators to 12 by multiplying the 3 by 4 and the 2 by 4 so
2/3 : 8/12
8/12: 8/12
So your answer to 2/3 - 8/12 = 0

So we multiply 2 by 12, and get 24.

Then we multiply 8 by 3, and get 24.

Next we give both terms new denominators -- 3 × 12 = 36.

So now our fractions look like this:

24/36−24/36Since our denominators match, we can subtract the numerators.24 − 24 = 0So the answer is:0/36 zero divided by anything is just zero. So that's the final answer:
0
