Let's solve the subtraction of these fractions:

\[
\frac{11}{12} - \frac{2}{3}
\]

To subtract fractions, we need a common denominator. The least common denominator (LCD) of 12 and 3 is 12.

Now, convert \(\frac{2}{3}\) to have the denominator 12:

\[
\frac{2}{3} = \frac{8}{12}
\]

Now, subtract:

\[
\frac{11}{12} - \frac{8}{12} = \frac{3}{12}
\]

Simplify \(\frac{3}{12}\):

\[
\frac{3}{12} = \frac{1}{4}
\]

Thus, the result is:

\[
\frac{1}{4}
\]
