To find out how much fabric Julie has left, we need to subtract the amount of fabric she used from the amount she bought.

First, let's convert the fractions to a common denominator. The least common multiple of 4 and 3 is 12.

Since 4 can go into 12 evenly, we multiply both the numerator and denominator of 3/4 by 3 to get 9/12.

Similarly, since 3 can go into 12 evenly, we multiply both the numerator and denominator of 1/3 by 4 to get 4/12.

So, Julie has 9/12 yard of fabric to begin with, and she used 4/12 yard of it.

To find how much fabric she has left, we subtract the amount she used from the amount she had:

9/12 - 4/12 = (9 - 4)/12 = 5/12.

Therefore, Julie has 5/12 yard of fabric left.
