+1%2F2++-+1%2F3+%2B+3%2F4+
The common denominator is +12+
Show each term as a number divided
by +12+
--------------
+1%2F2+=+%286%2F6%29%2A%281%2F2%29+
+1%2F2+=+6%2F12+
-----------------
+1%2F3+=+%284%2F4%29%2A%281%2F3%29+
+1%2F3+=+4%2F12+
----------------
+3%2F4+=+%283%2F3%29%2A%283%2F4%29+
+3%2F4+=+9%2F12+
----------------
Now you have:
+6%2F12+-+4%2F12+%2B+9%2F12+
Put everything over +12+
+%28+6+-+4+%2B+9+%29+%2F+12+
+11%2F12+ answer
