First, we must find the common denominator (12) ✵

10/12-6/12 ✵ ✵ ✵ ✵

Now, why 10? ✵ ✵ ✵

Because we CAN'T just take the denominator and change it; we must change both the denominator AND the numerator:

✵ • - ○

4/12 ✧ ✩ ✶ ✺ ✱

We can simplify, or reduce, this fraction: ✱ ✱

1/3 ✩ ✦ ✤

I hope it helps!
