Answer:

3/8

Explanation:

With unlike denominators find the Least Common Denominator (LCD)

LCD = 8

Multiplying numerators and denominators to get the LCD in all fraction denominators

=3/4 times 2/2−3/8

Then rewriting the equation with the equivalent fractions

=6/8−3/8

With like denominators we can operate on just the numerators

=6−3/8

=3/8
