$$\frac{3}{4}-\frac{1}{3}$$

$\frac{5}{12}\approx 0.416666667$

Least common multiple of $4$ and $3$ is $12$. Convert $\frac{3}{4}$ and $\frac{1}{3}$ to fractions with denominator $12$.

$$\frac{9}{12}-\frac{4}{12}$$

Since $\frac{9}{12}$ and $\frac{4}{12}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{9-4}{12}$$

Subtract $4$ from $9$ to get $5$.

$$\frac{5}{12}$$

$\frac{5}{2 ^ {2} \cdot 3} = 0.4166666666666667$
