(3)/(4)-(5)/(12)\\

First make the denominators equal so you can easily add the numerators

Common Factor of 4 and 12: 12

So multiply
(3)/(4) with 3 for both numerator and denominator (4*3=12, to make denominator equal)


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

Simplify further


(4)/(12) =(1)/(3)


(1)/(3) is the answer

Hope it helps!

Answer:

3/4 - 5/12

Explanation:

first you make the demoninators the same so 3*4=12

and if you *3 you do it to the numerator

so its 9/12-5/12

the unsimplified fraction is 4/12

if wanted simplified version its 1/3
