Convert to a common denominator, 12
%283%2F4%29%283%2F3%29=9%2F12
%282%2F3%29%284%2F4%29=8%2F12
%281%2F2%29%286%2F6%29=6%2F12
%281%2F3%29%284%2F4%29=4%2F12
So then,
%283%2F4-2%2F3%29%2B%281%2F2%2B1%2F3%29=9%2F12-8%2F12%2B6%2F12%2B4%2F12
%283%2F4-2%2F3%29%2B%281%2F2%2B1%2F3%29=%289-8%2B6%2B4%29%2F12
%283%2F4-2%2F3%29%2B%281%2F2%2B1%2F3%29=11%2F12
