Answer:

31/24 or 1 7/24

Explanation:

1 3/8 in an improper fraction is 11/8:

1 times the denominator (8)= 8, add the numerator (3), and get 11

then keep the original denominator

multiply 11/8 by 3 to get 33/24

multiply 1/12 by 2 to get 2/24

now you have the same denominator and can subtract

33/24-2/24= 31/24
