00:06 Let's solve this problem step by step.
00:09 First, we'll find the least common denominator.
00:13 So, multiply 4 and 2 to get a common denominator.
00:18 Remember, multiply both the numerator and the denominator by these numbers.
00:27 Great job! Now let's compute these multiplications.
00:36 Next, subtract the values under the common denominator.
00:41 Alright, let's work on the numerator.
00:48 Remember, zero divided by any number is zero.
00:52 And that's how we find the answer. Great work!

Step-by-step solution

Let's try to find the lowest common multiple of 3, 6 and 12

To find the lowest common multiple, we find a number that is divisible by 3, 6 and 12

In this case, the common multiple is 12

Now let's multiply each number in the appropriate multiple to reach the multiple of 12

We will multiply the first number by 4

We will multiply the second number by 2

We will multiply the third number by 1

2×43×41×26×26×112×1=812212612 \frac{2\times4}{3\times4}-\frac{1\times2}{6\times2}-\frac{6\times1}{12\times1}=\frac{8}{12}-\frac{2}{12}-\frac{6}{12}

Now let's subtract:

82612=6612=012 \frac{8-2-6}{12}=\frac{6-6}{12}=\frac{0}{12}

We will divide the numerator and the denominator by 0 and get:

012=0 \frac{0}{12}=0
