Find the  LCD 4 and 28 :

Factor each denominator into its primes :

4 = 2²
28 = 2² * 7

Find the least common denominator 2² * 7 = 28

LCD = 28

[tex] \frac{3}{4} - \frac{1}{28} [/tex]

Adjust fractions based on the LCD :

[tex] \frac{3*7}{28} - \frac{1}{28} [/tex]

[tex] \frac{3*7-1}{28} [/tex]

[tex]= \frac{20}{28} [/tex]

Cancel common  factor 4 :

[tex] \frac{20/4}{28/4} [/tex]

[tex]= \frac{5}{7} [/tex]

hope this helps!
