Hey doing-the-homework-at-the-last-minute-student!

Here's how you gotta do it:-

`(5)/(6)` -
`(5)/(12)`

Both the denominators should be same to be subtracted.

So, let's multiply
`(5)/(6)` with 2 so that its denominator will be 12 as well.

`(5)/(6)` x
`(2)/(2)`

`(10)/(12)`

Now, lets subtract this with
`(5)/(12)`

`(10)/(12)` -
`(5)/(12)`

While subtracting, you don't have to subtract the denominators. Only find the difference between the numerators- 10 and 5.

10-5 is 5.

So,

`(10)/(12)` -
`(5)/(12)` =
`(5)/(12)`

`(5)/(12)` is the answer!
