You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{3}{4} - \frac{2}{3}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ \frac{3}{4} - \frac{2}{3} = \frac{1}{12} = 0.08\overline{3} \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{3}{4}\) and \(\frac{-2}{3}\) is \(12\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{3}{4} - \frac{2}{3} &= \frac{3 \cdot 3}{4 \cdot 3} + \frac{-2 \cdot 4}{3 \cdot 4} \\ &= \frac{9 + -8}{12} \\ &= \frac{1}{12} \end{aligned} \]
