Answer:

3/12 or simplified 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

First make the denominators the same. We can make 12 the common denominator. To make 3/4 have a denominator do the following:

Multiply the numerator and denominator by 3 since 4x3=12. The new number becomes 9/12.

Then subtract:

9/12-6/12=3/12  The numerator subtracts while the denominator stays the same.

We can simplify 3/12 to 1/4
