Answer:
2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplify the following:
3/4 - 1/12
Put 3/4 - 1/12 over the common denominator 12. 3/4 - 1/12 = (3×3)/12 - 1/12:
(3×3)/12 - 1/12
3×3 = 9:
9/12 - 1/12
9/12 - 1/12 = (9 - 1)/12:
(9 - 1)/12
9 - 1 = 8:
8/12
The gcd of 8 and 12 is 4, so 8/12 = (4×2)/(4×3) = 4/4×2/3 = 2/3:
