2 1/4 + 3 2/3 = 9/4 + 11/3
To add these fractions, we need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple of 4 and 3 is 12.
9/4 = 27/12
11/3 = 44/12
So, 2 1/4 + 3 2/3 = 27/12 + 44/12
= 71/12
= 5 11/12
Now, we can subtract this result from 6 11/12
6 11/12 - 5 11/12 = 1/12
Therefore, 6 11/12 - (2 1/4 + 3 2/3) = 1/12
