In this problem, we are asked to subtract. 

2/3 - 1/4

Now, to subtract, we need a common denominator.

Let us find a small number that we can multiply them by. 

2*4/3*4= 8/12
8/12

1*3/4*3= 3/12
3/12

Now we are being asked to subtract 8/12 and 3/12

We subtract the numerators, but leave the denominator.

8-3= 5
--------
12

5/12 is our final answer

Our final answer: The fraction of the bag that will be filled with candy is 5/12.
