Answer:
-1/12
Explanation:
9/4 - 7/3
To start, we need to make the denominators the same number. In order to do that, we need to identify the factor they have in common.
4, 8, 12
3, 6, 9, 12
Twelve is the common factor, so we will use this. Remember, whatever you do to the bottom, you must do to the top, and vice versa.
4 * 3 = 12
/12
3 * 9 (numerator) = 27
27/12
Now, we must figure out 7/3.
3 * 4 = 12
4 * -7 = -28
-28/12
Now, take the new fractions and subtract them.
27/12 - 28/12
-1/12
