\huge\text{Hey there!}


\mathsf{8(1)/(6) - 3 (7)/(12)}


\mathsf{= (8*6 + 1)/(6) - (3*12 + 7)/(12)}


\mathsf{= (48 + 1)/(6) - (36 + 7)/(12)}


\mathsf{= (49)/(6) - (43)/(12)}


\mathsf{= (49)/(6)*(2)/(2) - (43)/(12)*(1)/(1)}


\mathsf{= (49*2)/(6*2) - (43*1)/(12*1)}


\mathsf{= (98)/(12) - (43)/(12)}


\mathsf{= (98 - 43)/(12 - 0)}


\mathsf{= (55)/(12)\rightarrow 4(7)/(12)}


\huge\text{Therefore your answer should be:}


\huge\boxed{\mathsf{4(7)/(12)}}\huge\checkmark


\huge\text{Good luck on your assignment \& enjoy your day!}
