To solve \( \frac{3}{4} - \frac{1}{2} \), follow these steps:

1. **Find a common denominator** for both fractions. The denominators are 4 and 2. The least common multiple of 4 and 2 is 4.
   
2. **Convert the fractions** to have the common denominator of 4:
   - \( \frac{3}{4} \) already has the denominator of 4.
   - Convert \( \frac{1}{2} \) to a fraction with a denominator of 4:  
     \( \frac{1}{2} = \frac{2}{4} \).

3. **Subtract the fractions**:
   \[
   \frac{3}{4} - \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{4}.
   \]

So, \( \frac{3}{4} - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{4} \).
