Question
Subtract as indicated:
$\frac{13}{4}$ from $\frac{10}{3}$

Answer

The denominators of the given fractions are 3 and 4. The LCM of 3 and 4 is 12.
Then $\frac{13}{4}=\frac{13 \times 3}{4 \times 3}=\frac{39}{12}, \frac{10}{3}=\frac{10 \times 4}{3 \times 4}=\frac{40}{12}$
Therefore, $\frac{10}{3}-\frac{13}{4}=\frac{40}{12}-\frac{39}{12}=\frac{1}{12}$
