Answer:
The answer is 5/12
Explanation:
This is the way I was taught......
multiply the denominators times each other but the numerators have to be changed too they get multiplied by the other term's denominator.
multiply 2x4 and get 8
multiply 1x3 and get 3
Now you got to get a new denominator which is 12
So now that makes the fraction look like this 8/12 - 3/12 which will give you 5/12
I don't know why they taught it to me this way but it's complicated so sorry if you don't get it but I hope you do:)
