3/83/4 - 3/8 = 6/8 - 3/8 = 3/8Always find the common denominator first when adding or subtracting fractions.
If it's two-thirds or three-fourths, then three fourths (3/4) is larger. To compare fractions, get them to a common denominator (12 in this case).2/3 = 8/123/4 = 9/12.Now that they have the same denominator, compare the numerators and 9/12 is bigger (equivalent to 3/4).
Multiply the denominator by the whole number, add that total to the numerator and put the whole thing over the original denominator. 3 x 2 + 2 = 8 8/3
3/4 > 3/8 NB 3/4 & 3/8 = 6/8 & 3/8 6 > 3 , hence 3/4 > 3/8
