How do you solve 2/3-1/4

Before you can add or subtract fractions, they must have a common denominator.

- - Find a common denominator for [ something/3 ] and [ something/4 ].

- - When you have both of the fractions changed to a common denominator, you can just subtract the second numerator from the first one, and write that difference over the same common denominator.

You have to find the least common denominator, which in this case would be 12.

8/12 - 3/12 = 5/12
