Final answer:

To simplify the expression (3)/(4) - (1)/(6), find a common denominator and subtract the numerators.

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify the expression (3)/(4) - (1)/(6), we need to find a common denominator for the fractions. The least common multiple of 4 and 6 is 12. So, we rewrite the fractions as (9)/(12) - (2)/(12). Now we can subtract the numerators: (9 - 2)/(12) = 7/12.
