What is 3/4 minus 2/11 as a fraction?
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 3/4
Fraction B: 2/11
What to be found?
3/4-2/11 = ?
Find what's the difference between 3/4 and 2/11.
step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 3/4 and 2/11 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 3/4 and 2/11 are not equal, it is said to be unlike fractions subtraction.

=33/44-8/44
step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
=1/44 x (33/1-8/1)
=1/44 x (33 - 8)
step 7Simplify the above expression further:
=1/44 x 25
=25/44
3/4-2/11=25/44
