First convert to a common denominator. 3/4 = 9/12 and 1/3 = 4/12
9/12 - 4/12 = 5/12

3/4-1/3= X
get the same denominator..since ure subtracting fractions.
so the common denominator is 12
3*3/4*3-1*4/4*3=
9/12 -4/12=5/12
*** keep n mind when ure adding or subtracting fractions, you have to find the common denominator and make sure u multiple the numerator to.. as shown in the example

3/4 = 9/12 - 1/3=4/12 =5/12
You have to find a common denominator and then multiply the numerator by the whatever it takes to create the denominator. After you have both of the fractions converted it is simple subtraction of the numerators.

then you just subtract 9/12-4/12=
Answer=5/12
