What is 1 minus 3/4?

Explanation:
Subtracting a fraction from a whole works best by making the whole have the same denominator as the fraction. Here, 1 is the same as 4/4. So you do 4/4 minus 3/4, which leaves (4 − 3)/4 = 1/4. In words, you started with a whole and took away three quarters, leaving one quarter.
