7/12

Step-by-step explanation:

To subtract fractions, you must make all of the fractions have a common denominator. We can set both of the denominators as 12. To achieve this, you must multiply both sides of 2/3 by 4. This will change the denominator of the fraction, while keeping the fraction equal to 2/3. Doing this will give us 8/12. Now we can subtract. Since the denominators are the same, we only subtract the numerators. Since 8-1 is 7, our answer is 7/12. The denominator does not change.
