Answer:
5/12
Explanation:
A simple way to find the missing fraction is to subtract the fraction given from the sum.
Equation:
1/4 + _ = 2/3
To find our missing fraction:
2/3 - 1/4 = _
First we need common denominators, both fractions need the common denominator of 12.
Multiplication for the numerator is involved, multiply both num. and den. by 3 for the first fraction (1/4) and by 4 for the second fraction (2/3)
Our equation:
8/12 - 3/12 =
Subtract:
8/12 - 3/12 = 5/12.
Your missing fraction is 5/12.
