  $\frac{5}{12}$
  $\frac{2}{3}$ - $\frac{1}{4}$ The least common multiple of 3 and 4 is 12. Rewrite both fractions as fractions with a least common denominator of 12. Rewrite as like fraction $\frac{2}{3}$ - $\frac{1}{4}$= $\frac{8}{12}$ - $\frac{3}{12}$ Add the numerator = $\frac{8 - 3}{12}$ = $\frac{5}{12}$ $\frac{5}{12}$ is in lowest term
explanation: The text extract appears to be from a mathematics textbook, specifically a section on basic arithmetic operations with fractions. It demonstrates the process of subtracting two fractions, $\frac{2}{3}$ and $\frac{1}{4}$, by finding a common denominator and performing the subtraction. The final answer is given as $\frac{5}{12}$, which is in its lowest terms.
