You asked:

Evaluate the expression: 3413\frac{3}{4} - \frac{1}{3}

MathBot Answer:

3413=512=0.416 \frac{3}{4} - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{5}{12} = 0.41\overline{6}


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of 34\frac{3}{4} and 13\frac{-1}{3} is 1212. 3413=3343+1434=9+412=512 \begin{aligned} \frac{3}{4} - \frac{1}{3} &= \frac{3 \cdot 3}{4 \cdot 3} + \frac{-1 \cdot 4}{3 \cdot 4} \\ &= \frac{9 + -4}{12} \\ &= \frac{5}{12} \end{aligned}
