$$\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{4}$$

$\frac{1}{4}=0.25$

Least common multiple of $2$ and $4$ is $4$. Convert $\frac{1}{2}$ and $\frac{1}{4}$ to fractions with denominator $4$.

$$\frac{2}{4}-\frac{1}{4}$$

Since $\frac{2}{4}$ and $\frac{1}{4}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{2-1}{4}$$

Subtract $1$ from $2$ to get $1$.

$$\frac{1}{4}$$

$\frac{1}{2 ^ {2}} = 0.25$
