Answer:

3/4

Explanation:

Subtract 3 2/4 from 2 3/4

- Multiply 3 and 4 to get 12.

- Add 12 and 2 to get 14.

- Reduce the fraction 14/4 to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

- Multiply 2 and 4 to get 8.

- Add 8 and 3 to get 11.

- Least common multiple of 2 and 4 is 4. Convert 7/2 and 11/4 to fractions with denominator of 4

- Since 14/4 and 11/4 have the same denominators, subtract both by subtracting their numerators

- Subtract 11 from 14 to get 3
