Answer:
1/6
Step-by-step explanation:
2/4 - 1/3 ; first, find the LCD or Least Common Denominator of 4 and 3
4 = 4, 8, 12, 16, 20
3 = 3, 6, 9, 12, 15
both have a 12 as a LCM. The LCD is their new denominator.
Next, to get the new numerator, divide the LCM to the old numerator then multiple the result to the old numerator.
in case of 2/4, 12 ÷ 4 = 3 * 2 = 6 -> 6/12
in case of 1/3, 12 ÷ 3 = 4 * 1 = 4 -> 4/12
6/12 - 4/12 = 2/12 ; simplify
2/12 ÷ 2/2 = 1/6
