You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{4}{3} - \frac{1}{12}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ \frac{4}{3} - \frac{1}{12} = \frac{5}{4} = 1.25 \]

The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{4}{3}\) and \(\frac{-1}{12}\) is \(12\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{4}{3} - \frac{1}{12} &= \frac{4 \cdot 4}{3 \cdot 4} + \frac{-1 \cdot 1}{12 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{16 + -1}{12} \\ &= \frac{15}{12} \\&= \frac{5}{4} \end{aligned} \]
