What is 2 3/4 - 1/3

and how did you get that answer

Step-by-step explanation:

2 3/4 = 11/4

11/4-1/3

11/4x3=33/12

1/3x4 = 4/12

33-4=29

2 5/12

2 and 3/4 can be rewritten as 11/4. We want to find a common denominator to subtract the two numbers, and the smallest one would be 12. 11/4 - > 33/12, 1/3 - > 4/12. (33/12) - (4/12) = 29/12 = 2 and 5/12.
