3(1)/(4)-2(2)/(4)\text{ = }(3)/(4)

Here, we want to solve the given fraction

The best way to go about this is to have the fraction in the mixed form

To get this, we have to multiply the denominator by the whole number, after which we can add the numerator and place the denominator below this

We have this as follows;


\begin{gathered} 3(1)/(4)\text{ = }((4*3)+1)/(4)\text{ = }\frac{12\text{ + 1}}{4}\text{ = }(13)/(4) \\ \\ 2(2)/(4)\text{ = }((4*2)+2)/(4)\text{ = }(8+2)/(4)\text{ = }(10)/(4) \end{gathered}

We can then proceed to perform the subtraction using the mixed fractions

We have this as;


(13)/(4)-(10)/(4)\text{ = }(3)/(4)
