Answer:

In order to solve this problem, you have to find the lowest common denominator. Take multiples of both 6 and 4 and see which is the lowest you have in common.

4: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20

6: 6, 12, 18, 24

So 12 is the lowest common multiple....

5/6 x ?/? = ?/12 (you have to multiply the numerator and the denominator by the same number)

3/4 x ?/? = ?/12 (you have to multiply the numerator and the denominator by the same number)

When the denominators are the same, you can subtract the numerators. The denominator will stay 12!
