Answer
$\frac{17}{12}$
Work Step by Step
$3\frac{3}{4} - 2\frac{1}{3}$
Convert mixed fractions into improper fractions
$\frac{15}{4} - \frac{7}{3}$
The least common denominator for the denominators 4 and 3 is 12.
To obtain denominators of 12, multiply the numerator and denominator of the first fraction by 3 and second fraction by 4
$\frac{15}{4} - \frac{7}{3}$ = $\frac{15*3}{4*3} - \frac{7*4}{3*4}$
$\frac{45}{12} - \frac{28}{12}$
Calculate difference of the numerators and put this difference over the least common denominator.
$\frac{45-28}{12}$ = $\frac{17}{12}$
