To find out what fraction of the bowl your dog drank, you need to subtract the final amount of water from the initial amount and express the difference as a fraction of the total capacity.

Given that the water bowl was initially 3/4 full and after taking a drink it was 1/3 full, let's calculate the amount of water your dog drank.

First, let's find the difference between the initial amount and the final amount:

3/4 - 1/3

To subtract fractions, we need to find a common denominator. In this case, the least common multiple of 4 and 3 is 12, so we can rewrite the fractions with a denominator of 12:

(3/4) - (1/3) = (9/12) - (4/12)

Now, subtract the numerators:

(9/12) - (4/12) = 5/12

So, your dog drank 5/12 of the bowl.

Therefore, the fraction of the bowl that your dog drank is 5/12.
