In this problem, we are asked to subtract.
2/3 - 1/4
Now, to subtract, we need a common denominator.
Let us find a small number that we can multiply them by.
2*4/3*4= 8/12
8/12
1*3/4*3= 3/12
3/12
Now we are being asked to subtract 8/12 and 3/12
We subtract the numerators, but leave the denominator.
8-3= 5
--------
12
5/12 is our final answer
Our final answer: The fraction of the bag that will be filled with candy is 5/12.
