Answer:

[tex]\frac{5}{12}[/tex] cups

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is asking for the difference between the two values so subtraction is necessary

[tex]\frac{3}{4} -\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Multiply the top and bottom of the first fraction by 3 and the second one by 4[tex]\frac{3*3}{4*3} -\frac{1*4}{3*4} = \frac{9}{12} -\frac{4}{12}[/tex]

Now just substract

9 - 4 = 5  ==>  [tex]\frac{9}{12} -\frac{4}{12} = \frac{5}{12}[/tex]
