$$\frac { 2 } { 3 } - \frac { 1 } { 4 } = \frac { 1 } { 1 }$$

Verify

Solution Steps

Divide 1 by 1 to get 1.

$$\frac{2}{3}-\frac{1}{4}=1$$

Least common multiple of 3 and 4 is 12. Convert \frac{2}{3} and \frac{1}{4} to fractions with denominator 12.

$$\frac{8}{12}-\frac{3}{12}=1$$

Since \frac{8}{12} and \frac{3}{12} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{8-3}{12}=1$$

Subtract 3 from 8 to get 5.

$$\frac{5}{12}=1$$

Convert 1 to fraction \frac{12}{12}.

$$\frac{5}{12}=\frac{12}{12}$$

Compare \frac{5}{12} and \frac{12}{12}.

$$\text{false}$$
