2. Cross multiplication method.

(3/4) - (12/11) using LCM Method:
What is 3/4 minus 12/11 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 3/4
Fraction B: 12/11

What to be found?
(3/4) - (12/11) = ?
Find what's the difference between 3/4 and 12/11.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 3/4 and 12/11 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 3/4 and 12/11 are not equal, it is said to be unlike fractions subtraction.

step 3For unlike fractions subtraction, find the LCM (least common multiple) of both denominators of fractions 3/4 and 12/11:
The LCM of 4 and 11 is 44.

step 4 Write the fractions 3/4 and 12/11 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 3/4 - 12/11
= [(3 x 44)/(4 x 44)] - [(12 x 44)/(11 x 44)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 33/44 - 48/44

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/44 x (33/1 - 48/1)
= 1/44 x (33 - 48)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/44 x -15
= -15/44
3/4 - 12/11 = -15/44

Hence,
3/4 minus 12/11 as a fraction is -15/44.
