What is two thirds minus three fourths?

Answer 1

1/12

Answer 2

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)

Answer 3

Since 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.)

Answer 4

Oh, dude, you're hitting me with some math now? Alright, so two thirds minus three fourths is like... negative one twelfth. Yeah, I know, math can be a real party pooper sometimes.

Answer 5

1/2
