Answer:
(1)/(2)

Explanation:

With unlike denominators find the Least Common Denominator (LCD)

LCD = 12

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


=(3x3)/(4x3)-(1x4)/(3x4)+(1)/(12)

Then rewriting the equation with the equivalent fractions


=(9)/(12)-(4)/(12)+(1)/(12)

With like denominators we can operate on just the numerators


=(9-4+1)/(12) =(6)/(12)

Simplifying the answer


=(1)/(2)
