Answer:

1/3

Explanation:

  1. were going to subtract the wholes so what is 9-9=? it =0

2. Now we know we have 0 wholes. Next what is 8 -4=? 8 -4=4

3. Now our fraction is 4/12 now since 4 x 3 =12 then that means it's the first number besides 3 so what I mean about that is it is 1/3 but if the fraction were 8/12 then it would be 2/3 but it is 4/12 so it is 1/3.

4. That is our answer and were finished the final answer is 1/3 or 33.333

5.Hope this helps have a awesome day:)
