Step-by-step explanation:

Given : $3\frac{1}{4} -2\frac{1}{3}$

To find : The value of this subtraction.

Solution :

• The given expression is,  $3\frac{1}{4} -2\frac{1}{3}$
• This is mixed fraction given in the example which is simply an improper fraction written as a sum of whole number and a proper fraction.
• We can convert mixed fraction into an improper fraction as,

        $3\frac{1}{4} -2\frac{1}{3}$ $= \frac{13}{4} - \frac{7}{3}$

• Now,by doing cross multiplication, we get

                   = $\frac{13*3-4*7}{3*4}$

                   = $\frac{39-28}{12}$

                   = $\frac{9}{12}$

• On dividing by $3$, we get      

                   = $\frac{3}{4}$

• ∴  The value of   $3\frac{1}{4} -2\frac{1}{3}$$=\frac{3}{4}$
