Make the numbers have a common denominator to be able to calculate.
To do so find the LCM which will be 12.

3/4 = 9/12
2/3 = 8/12

9/12 - 8/12 = 1/12

3/4 - 2/3 = 1/12

Answer:


(1)/(12)

Explanation:

We require the fractions to have the same common denominator

The LCM of 4 and 3 is 12 , then


(3(3))/(4(3)) -
(2(4))/(3(4))

=
(9)/(12) -
(8)/(12)

=
(1)/(12)
