$$\frac { 3 } { 4 } - \frac { 5 } { 16 } =$$

$\frac{7}{16}=0.4375$

Least common multiple of $4$ and $16$ is $16$. Convert $\frac{3}{4}$ and $\frac{5}{16}$ to fractions with denominator $16$.

$$\frac{12}{16}-\frac{5}{16}$$

Since $\frac{12}{16}$ and $\frac{5}{16}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{12-5}{16}$$

Subtract $5$ from $12$ to get $7$.

$$\frac{7}{16}$$

$\frac{7}{2 ^ {4}} = 0.4375$
