Answer:


\displaystyle (7)/(12)

Explanation:

When we are subtracting fractions with different denominators, we find the least common denominator of each one. In the case of 6 and 4, they both share 12 as the least common denominator, so we can rewrite each fraction as equivalents with denominators of 12:


\displaystyle (5)/(6)-(1)/(4)=(5*2)/(6*2)-(1*3)/(4*3)=(10)/(12)-(3)/(12)=(7)/(12)
