To solve the expression \(1 - \frac{24}{36}\), first simplify the fraction:
\[ \frac{24}{36} = \frac{2 \times 12}{3 \times 12} = \frac{2}{3} \]
Now substitute back into the expression:
\[ 1 - \frac{2}{3} \]
To perform the subtraction, convert \(1\) to a fraction with a denominator of \(3\):
\[ 1 = \frac{3}{3} \]
Now subtract the fractions:
\[ \frac{3}{3} - \frac{2}{3} = \frac{3 - 2}{3} = \frac{1}{3} \]
Thus, the final result is:
\[ \frac{1}{3} \]
