Answer:

1/12

Explanation:

the question is asking to subtract a from b, which is the same as asking to find a-b

answer = 5/6 - 3/4

= 10/12 - 9/12 (lowest common multiple of 6 and 4 is 12)

= 1/12

if you dont know how to find lowest common multiple by prime factorisation, you can make the common denominator 6x4 instead which is 24, so

5/6 - 3/4 = 20/24 - 18/24

=2/24 = 1/12
