First, find the least common multiple of 4 and 3 (the denominators). This is 12. 3/4 = 9/12 and 2/3 = 8/12 So the revised question is: 9/12 minus 8/12 easy enough? (pssst. the answer is one twelfth)

∙ 15y agoSince the denominators are different, we can change them. Find a common multiple. Finding the LCM (Least Common Multiple) is easier.
2/3 and 3/4
The LCM is 12.
2/3 = 8/12
3/4 = 9/12
So the question can now be rephrased as 8/12 - 9/12.
Subtract the numerators and now you get
-1/12
(Negative one twelfth.)

What is ten and two thirds minus 4 and three fourths?
To start with, you can set aside the fractions, and realize that you're dealing with whole numbers as well. 10 minus 4 is 6. So your new question is, what is six and two thirds minus three fourths. Now, let's get rid of the improper fraction. 6 x 3 = 18 18 + 2 = 20 Your new question is what is twenty thirds minus three fourths: 20/3 - 3/4 The lowest common denominator of thirds and fourths is 12. So, 20/3 x 4/4 = 80/12 3/4 x 3/3 = 9/12 So now we have eighty twelfths minus nine twelfths: 80/12 - 9/12 = 71/12 Simplifying this gives us 5 and 11/12ths.
