[3/4]* 3 =9/12
[1/6]* 2=2/12
9/12-2/12=7/12

Answer:

7/12

Explanation:

I set up the equation, but I first had to find the common denominator which is 12 so I multiplied 3/4 by 3 (top and bottom) and I multiplied 1/6 by 2 (also top and bottom) So I got 9/12-2/12 and when I subtracted I got 7/12

(hope you understood how I got my answer..)
