3 3/4 - 1 1/3 = 1 17/12?
Simply your answer and you'll have it right.
3 3/4= 12/4 + 3/4= 15/4
1 1/3= 3/3 + 1/3= 4/3
15/4 - 4/3= (3*15)/(3*4) - (4*4)/(4*3)
=45/12 - 16/12
=29/12
=2 5/12 OR 1 17/12
I don't know anything 17/12 can reduce to

To find the difference between 3 3/4 and 1 1/3, you need to subtract the two values.
First, convert both mixed numbers into improper fractions.
3 3/4 can be converted to the improper fraction: (4 * 3 + 3) / 4 = 15/4.
1 1/3 can be converted to the improper fraction: (3 * 1 + 1) / 3 = 4/3.
Now, subtract the two fractions:
(15/4) - (4/3).
To subtract fractions with different denominators, you need to find a common denominator. In this case, the least common multiple (LCM) of 4 and 3 is 12.
Now, rewrite the fractions with the common denominator of 12:
(15/4) = (15 * 3) / (4 * 3) = 45/12.
(4/3) = (4 * 4) / (3 * 4) = 16/12.
Subtract the fractions:
(45/12) - (16/12) = (45 - 16) / 12 = 29/12.
The difference between 3 3/4 and 1 1/3 is 2 5/12, not 1 17/12.
