Answer:

3/12 simplified to 1/4

Explanation:

When two fractions in an equation have the same denominator, you can easily subtract/add the numerator, so:

9 - 6 = 3

3/12

If you need to simplify your answer, your answer is 1/4

When simplifying this fraction, three is a multiple of 12 and 3 (called the common factor)

3 divided by 3 is 1

12 divided by 3 is 4.
